I agree, I never use the microphones that come with the radio unless it is a
mobile type radio. I had rather pay less for the radio and not receive
one.

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.

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.
