[Elecraft] Mic and Headset

[Jim Miller KG0KP]

I also use the Heil headset but the one I have is the original before there 
were dfiierent models except for the microphone and I use the HC4 element as 
it is my "contest" use mic.  I have teh original Gold Line for day to day 
use and it has the "full range" and the HC5 elements in it and yes, it does 
have a different sound than the HC4 element.  That is by design - the HC4 is 
designed for cutting through in contest use and the HC5 is somewhat wider in 
its response to be a bit closer to "normal".  The full range element is of 
course the one you want to use if your intent is to "sound like normal" and 
don't need the advantages of the HC4 and HC5 elements.
