Philmore ham mic with PTT

I saw this mic advertised.  It looks like it might work with the K2.  It's
about $15, and looks vaguely like the now discontinued Elecaft MH2.  The
specs: dynamic mic, 500 ohms inpedance (sic), PTT, coiled cord:

I haven't ordered one, but thought I'd pass it along.

Leigh,

Another important parameter is the sensitivity - this mic is -70 dB which is
even lower than the Heil HC-4 and HC-5 elements that have been discussed
recently. And you must add your own mic plug - and no doubt you would need a
preamp with this one.

A better choice is the Ten-Tec Model 701 mic (search at www.tentec.com) - it
is an electret type with high output and priced at only $28.  The plug
supplied is a 4 pin, but it is easily changed to an 8 pin type.

73,
