Most any microphone can be used as long as it has the proper pinout on
the mic plug.
If you do not want to re-wire the plug, look at microphones for Kenwood.
Heil has Kenwood adapters that work fine with the K3. but IMHO, Heil
microphones are overpriced.

Shure made some of the first high quality desk mics for radio, and they
still make them. They were the first, I believe, to build in a peak
around 3kHz to compensate for the rolloff of the SSB filter (in the
1950s). Current model is the 450 Series II. The 444 is an earlier version.

These are dynamic mics, and last virtually forever. Buy them used for a
third of the price. All that it takes to make them work with an Elecraft
rig is a properly wired mic connector. And, of course, with a K3 or KX3,
tweak TXEQ for your voice with that mic.

What Jim said. I use a Shure 444D that I have had for 45 years. Not only do I get good audio reports but it looks pretty good next to the K3.

desk microphone for $ 8.73

with EQ on the K3 can sound like anything thing you want....
probably do NOT even need to eq....


even better take an broken telephone handset apart and use the mic element
