Mini-mic

Edward R Cole
Hmm.  I've no interest in an embedded mic on the KX3.  Holding the
KX3 like a cell phone seems unwieldy.  But then I have never owned a
cell-phone (previous employer supplied mine).  I would go a month or
two and never add personal calls.  If I wanted to call home I had a
desk phone (more likely I would e-mail).  Before I was married only
person to talk to was the dog: "HI fido how's it
going?"  ...."woof!"  "Need anything from the store?"  ..."woof,
woof".  You get the picture.  Nearest relative is 2,000 miles (e-mail
works there, too).  If I want to talk to a ham , uh ... there's the
ham radio (or e-mail).

I sure don't need a cell-phone inside my KX3 (???).  The 2m module
would be very nice.

BTW my wife has a simple voice cell-phone with 150-min/mo $30 plan
which we share.  I use it when I'm on the tower and need a wrench
tied on the rope.

My use of the KX3 for voice is either at home, mobile, or portable
with external antenna.  I do not envision using it like a HT (or
cell-phone).  BUT that doesn't stop anyone from installing an
internal mic if they wish it.  It would seem simple to add and
operate with VOX.
