[Elecraft] Heil HC-4, HC-5 & Yamaha CM500

The one issue with the microphone in the CM-500 is that  
it has much more low frequency response than either the 
HC-5 or the HC-4.  Unless you want to waste a lot of power 
in useless low frequency audio response, the CM-500 will 
require a significant amount of TX EQ while the HC5/HC4 
can be used without eq.
