[Elecraft] K3 with Heil HC-5

[Edward R Cole]

I bought a Heil HM-10-5 mic back in 2000 when I bought my 
FT-847.  This is the original  style that sets in a cradle stand.  I 
chose the HC-5 element for good voice fidelity and always get good 
reports.  When I bought the K3/10 I contacted HRO for the correct 
connector cable.  Turns out that the standard Kenwood cable 
CC-1XLR-K, with the red connector is perfect for the K3 (HRO price $35.95).

I've settled down on the HC-5 as the best sounding SSB TX audio. It 
was after spending the time to determine that this was the right 
answer for the K3.

The TX equalizer should be tailored based on your own voice to give 
it the best fidelity. Because of my great audio, I get asked what mic 
I'm using on many occasions. Mic Gain setting:19 Compression setting: 24

Good luck
