Hi Eddy,

Clearly there is something wrong or incorrectly adjusted with the K2 you heard.
I use the MH2 Heil mic here and get great audio reports. I've also tested it by
digitally recording my transmissions off the air and replaying them to confirm
TX quality.

Please privately send me the call of the station you worked and I'll have Gary
in support call them and get it straightened out.
