Could be. Heil Sound made a ton of money from using very inexpensive elements they found off shore and tied it to a name. I am very leery of bogus reviews and any reviews anymore as so many companies are giving you their stuff so you give them good reviews. On 12/6/2016 3:48 PM, Walter

“MoovMic” sounds like a bad copy of “ModMic”, who invented this idea. The real one has 63% five-star ratings. Two models, one is $40, the other is $55. https://www.amazon.com/Antlion-Audio-ModMic-Attachable-Microphone/dp/B00T6XUL8S

I am a happy CM-500 user. Note that while you have any headset mic input connected thru the back panel, you can still use the hand held microphone push to talk switch. Until you get into voice operations in pileups, where you might want a foot switch, it will work well for you. (IMHO, VOX is

Hi Bill, I have used a computer headset with my K3 for many years. It seems to be a noise-cancelling variety - at least it has the set of noise holes in the back of the microphone case. Very light weight, but does not exclude room noise on receive - which for me is good, since I can hear

Bill, Get a Yamaha CM-500. It is not noise cancelling, but can plug directly into the K3 rear jacks. Select the rear panel mic and turn on bias for it. They are not noise cancelling, but the big cuffs cover the ears nicely and seal well. As far as noise pickup in the microphone, use the

Since I seldom use SSB I have not had the need to ask this question and I realize the responses may vary as much as belly buttons. I have a K3 and I also have the hand held microphone. I want to obtain a headset with an attached microphone to use with this radio just in case I may want to do
