[Elecraft] [K3] Heil HM-12 microphone

[Dale Boresz]

Hello,

I'm trying to get a Heil HM-12 microphone to work from the front panel. 
Even with the Mic gain set to 60, and MIC SEL set to FP.H, I have to 
shout in order to see any ALC bars.

According to the K3 Owner's Manual in the MAIN Menu section describing 
"MIC SEL" :
"... tap [3] to turn on an additional gain stage. Use this only with 
very low-output mics. An apostrophe will appear after the H, e.g. H'"  
Tapping [3] only produces "N/A" here.

I also find that significant EQ is needed to reduce low freq, and 
increase high freq. output.

Anybody using the HM-12 with success on the K3?
