My $10K ICOM 7800 also came without a microphone. I think mobile rigs would be expected to come with a microphone, but not necessarily a desktop rig.
We have a lot of choices for microphones and if the K3 (or IC-7800) came with a little dinky microphone I'd never have used it, and would have had to store it for when I might eventually sell the rig. 73 de Dick, K6KR -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Darwin, Keith Sent: Wednesday, April 30, 2008 6:10 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [Elecraft] K3 Microphone -----Original Message----- Well for 3 grand, I didn't think I had to order and pay extra for a fist mic. Kinda took the excitement right out of my sails. ------------------------- I guess most new rigs come with mics, ea? The only radios I've ever bought new were the K2 and K3 and I'm glad neither came with a mic. I'm a CW guy and I don't want to pay for a mic that won't get used. Don't most people who are going to use SSB end up with a better mic anyway? Maybe not, maybe many use the one that came with the rig. - Keith N1AS - - K3 711 - _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
