The MH-2 that I received with my K3 has ... in my
opinion ... a really "stiff" coiled cord. It's capable of sliding the radio on the desk when the mic is held about 24" from the radio. At this point the turns of the coiled portion of the cord are (only) about 1/4" apart. Perhaps it just needs use .... 73!

Ken,
It is not from lack of use, it is very, very stiff.

Sold it with that K2. Selling the K2 was a big mistake, so I ended up buying another. On this one I have the Kenwood MC-43S. The mic size and PTT buttons are better suited to me, but I still find the mic cord to be too thick. To me the best mic physically would be the mic that came with the Kenwood TR-2200A and TR-2200GIIA back in the late 1970's. It was quite small and light, and had a microswitch action PTT switch and a light cord. I think it is part number T91-0010-15, but may be T91-0033-15. I have no idea of what the audio quality would be like or even if the impedance would match. A picture is at http://www.rigpix.com/kenwood/tr2200a.htm or http://www.rigpix.com/kenwood/tr2200gii.htm Another Kenwood mic I liked was with the original TR-2200 and looked like a mic you would find with the portable cassette recorders of the day. My boss at that time had one of those and I really liked it.

The manufacturer has used the wrong cable type, it will not get better with
time. It should not be ordinary pvc. Send it back, there's a batch problem.

Yes, a bit stiff - a bit of stretching and flexing (forgive the pun)
have helped. Much stiffer than my Yaesu Ft-857 mic -- The secret of life is honesty and fair dealing.
