KX3 internal microphone

Had any thought been given to including an internal electret microphone
in the KX3? Those mics are so small and an aperture for it could be
very tiny that I am surprised the KX3 does not have one. The internal
mic could be selected by a menu option. With the attachable KXPD3 paddle
the KX3 would then be a self-contained rig for all modes without the
need for an external microphone. An internal microphone would work very
well using VOX.

Re: KX3 internal microphone

That's a darned good idea, David.

I'm looking at a camera right now and its mic orifice is only about half a
mm in diameter and looking at the size of the camera, its whizzy in and out
lens, battery et al, the mic must be very small indeed.

Maybe a $20 retro-fit kit? Mic, wiring and a tiny drillbit Hi!

Re: KX3 internal microphone

Are we buying a HF QRP Radio that has just about everything but the kitchen sink, not to mention the option

of having 2 Meter module inside?

OR! Do we want a cell phone?

This is a good idea. I have my KX3 in a camera flash bag. Everything I need fits into that bag-- except the hand mic. An internal mic would make it ' grab-n-go'.

Re: KX3 internal microphone

In reply to this post by tnnyswy

I don't have a KX3 (yet), but whenever I do acquire one it will be a lot more capable and fun than any cell phone....even if it doesn't have an internal mic (good idea!) Cell phones are just tools, not hobby/emergency com items.....both have legitimate purposes.

Also, I wonder if there is enough room within the KX3 to include cell phone circuits?? Hmmmm?

Re: KX3 internal microphone

In reply to Milverton of no identity.

If you give it more thought, with an internal mic, it would remove the need
for adding a mic to the rucksack when out /P, for which the KX3 is designed.
Have you read Wayne's 4lb challenge?

If you want to sit at home with a mic in hand, or a desktop mic weighing as
much as the KX3 and natter to your buddies then you wouldn't be bothered by
a pinhole on the fascia, unless dreadfully fussy. Lots of suggestions have
been made for the KX3 so far and if they don't get applied to the KX3, maybe
they'll be in the KX4. Anyway, it'll need to shrink a heck of a lot before
it becomes a cellphone Hi!

Re: KX3 internal microphone

In reply to this post by Richard-3

I can see it now.

You're sitting in the easy chair, reading a book with a nice cup of
tea on the table beside the KX3. You reach over to pick up the K3
then raise it to your mouth to speak into the internal microphone.
The coax cable knocks the tea cup over which dumps tea into your mini
power supply, causing it to lose all it's smoke and the power cord
pulls your YF's favorite lamp over and breaks it.

One hour later your YF banishes you from the den.

Re: KX3 internal microphone

In reply to this post by David Pratt

I saw a different image: Truck rolls off a mountain road. I can just reach my KX3 case with one hand. I get the zipper open after a bit of struggle, and get the radio free. I push two buttons and get the radio to power up from the internal batteries. Out comes the wire antenna. I find the key in the side zippered pocket, but can't get it screwed in with only one hand and I keep pushing the radio the more I try. I give up and pull the radio back. One button and I'm in SSB mode. I push the tx button and call mayday. After a few trys K6DGW responds. I give my location and he calls for help. He stays on the air with me until help arrives. Cell phone? No coverage.

Re: KX3 internal microphone

In reply to this post by DaveL G3TJP

OTOH... my wife and I have Bluetooth earbud/microphone sets we can "pair"
with our cell phones. Perhaps a teeny tiny additional circuit in the KX3
would allow me to pair my Bluetooth gizmo with the KX3.

While you are doing this, might as well add voice recognition software so I
can say "band up" or "band down" or "VFO up" or "VFO down" or "nail that CW
caller" (with voice to CW translation at the callers speed). No need for CW
to voice translation, just learn International Morse code.

I have 50' of coax that I run from the shack to the living room where I take
my KX3 and a small Power supply. I sit it on a TV table beside my recliner
with a laptop running and work DX with it on SSB using the hand mic. One
small matter I can only do that when the wife is gone but then I'm in real
comfort for QRP action 8>)
