Microphone and filter question

I know this sounds lazy but what desk mic. could I order, plug directly into
a K3 and operate with no wiring changes? Yes, a good one. Which is better, the 200 hz 5pole or 250 hz 8 pole? Which is best for the 160m cw test?

Hi Steve:
I would very much recommend getting a Shure 444D desk microphone for your K3. I am using one with excellent transmit audio. It's a very simply job to connect the appropriate mic connector to it. 73 from Fern VE7GZ ----- Original Message ----- From: "n4lq" <[hidden email]> To: <[hidden email]> Sent: Monday, March 17, 2008 8:02 PM Subject: [Elecraft] Microphone and filter question I know this sounds lazy but what desk mic. could I order, plug directly into a K3 and operate with no wiring changes?

I have a Heil HM-10 with both HC4 and HC5 elements (switchable) and cabled
for ICOM 8-pin. What would I have to do to make it compatible with the K3? 73, Jerry K3BZ ----- Original Message ----- From: "Fern Rivard" <[hidden email]> To: "n4lq" <[hidden email]>; <[hidden email]> Sent: Monday, March 17, 2008 11:51 PM Subject: [Elecraft] re best desk mic for K3 Hi Steve: I would very much recommend getting a Shure 444D desk microphone for your K3.

Yes, a good one. I am getting great audio reports from pretty much anything I have tried with the k3 so far. I bought on Ebay a very cheap skype headset. This is sounding really good, not too much base and plenty of Presence, Nice clear 'DX' audio. like ebay Item 180224618274 http://tinyurl.com/2j5f6x For a desk mic I tried an old computer desk mic that came with a gateway PC years ago. Once again I am getting very good reports with this. I have not tried any TX EQ settings other than flat. My home brew headset is based on a beyerdynamic headset and a copy of Icom's hand mic circuit implemented in place of the original noise cancelling dynamic insert. This has worked very well for me on a variety of radios, it also works very well on the K3 All of these connect into the mic in jack on the rear I don't think there's is any magic here, pretty much any electret condenser mic is going to perform more than well enough for excellent SSB audio, No need to buy into any hype. Mic housings with smaller openings will tend to have more Low frequency roll off It's nice having everything connected via the back as it leaves the front panel clear, since I Like changing things around I have routed all the rear panel audio,ptt and keying lines via a 1/4" half-normalised patch panel. This allows me to swap mic / change key etc with ease > Which is better, the 200 hz 5pole or 250 hz 8 pole? Which is best for the > 160m cw test? I have a 250 in mine and find it very good it is wider than 250 but this does not appear to be a problem. I have not tried the 200 however I am entirely happy with the current level of performance which during the CQWW and CQWW160 cw contests was very noticeably better than the icom 7800 73 Brendan EI6IZ -- Don‘t complain. Nobody will understand. Or care. And certainly don‘t try to fix the situation yourself. It‘s dangerous. Leave it to a highly untrained, unqualified, expendable professional. _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [hidden email] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
