[Elecraft] Best Heil Element for K3

[bwruble at gmail.com]

Hi Dave,

I got the same headset, and it would not work with the remote setup using the K3/0 mini to connect to a remote K3 with the RemoteRig system linking them.  There was way too little mike power to move the needle. I then bought the Pro-Set that Elecraft sells, and it came with the little "iC" sticker indicating the Icom version.  I sent my Pro7 back for a swap of elements to the iC electret, and everything worked fine.  BTW, the Elecraft hand mike (MH2) also worked fine, and one of the guys at Elecraft told me it had an electret element.

That said, I am certain the same problem did not occur when using the mike with the K3 itself. Plenty of gain with either version mike.
