[Elecraft] Heil HC-7 Dynamic Element with K3/0 Setp

[dmb at lightstream.net]

Hello Ken,

I use the Pro 7 w/ the HC7 element as well.

Tapping the "7" key while in "MIC SEL" will bring in the extra preamp
which in combination with FP.H will most likely be too much gain. If it
is, try leaving the "7" preamp engaged but drop back to FP.L and see if
that gives you enough gain. I would NOT suggest using both the "7" preamp
and FP.H though.
