[Elecraft] Heil Proset KX3 Element?

[Walter Underwood]

Well heck, Elecraft has only sold eight or nine thousand KX3’s. Heil should wait until it is a sure thing. That is just good business.

Another person suggested that I adjust the TX EQ, which I have done, basically boosting 2.4 KHz and above by 4db and rolling off 200Hz and below by 4db. After making these adjustments, I've been told by a local ham who had heard the previous settings that my audio quality was improved; however, he quickly added the the Elecraft MH3 mic still sounded better even before the EQ adjustments.  I'm not exactly sure what to make of this, since the Heil headset is, obviously, a much more expensive piece of equipment.   However, it's possible that making the conversion pigtail that you suggested might cure the problem.
