[Elecraft] K3 + Heil HC 5 element

[Keith Heimbold]

All-

Thanks for sharing. 

My newly acquired normal use headset is the HC5 proset and I was wondering what settings I should utilize.  This is great information.  My other headset the proset with HC4 I use once in awhile for other purposes.

Thanks again,

Keith
