[Elecraft] Heil Proset KX3 Element?

[Carl Jón Denbow]

Thanks, Mark.  I did have a local listen after I made some adjustments, 
but I didn't make adjustments in real time as he was listening.   I 
think that'll have to be the next step.   I did try to adjust EQ 
settings, as detailed in another message.  But, I'll give your settings 
a try, also -- they are a little more aggressive than the one's tried.   
I do find it interesting that the MH3 mic got better on-the-air reviews 
without any EQ adjustment than, so far, I've gotten from the Heil 
Proset, with adjustments.  I hope your more aggressive settings will 
turn the tide of battle! ;-)  73 de Carl, N8VZ
