ANY variable-D mic will work very well with a K3. The RE27 is a variable-D mic and a variation on the RE20 that uses a neodymium magnet. It's a very good mic, but overkill. I own several RE20s, RE27s, and RE16s. The Ham Interfacing tutorial lists about 8 variable-D mics that are suitable, and are worth grabbing when you see them used. Dynamic mics don't wear out, so are pretty safe to buy used (unless, of course, they've been badly abused). The EV 666, the original "Buchannan hammer" (so named because Lou Burroughs, co-founder of the company, demoed its ruggedness by driving a nail with it) was one of the first variable-D mics. Both the 666 and it's lower priced cousin, the 664 are also great choices for the K3. I used to own some 666s but they got away from me. 73, Jim K9YC _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
