[Elecraft] RemoteRig Microphone Question

[Jim Larson]

Hi Mitch.  Thanks for the response.

The Heil is plugged into the front AUX/MIC jack.  The headset first goes through the adapter changing the 1/8” plug to plug compatible with the front of the K3S.  That plug then goes into a second adapter that converts it into the RJ45 plug that connects to the AUX/MIC jack.

From what I can gather, then iC element is a condenser type that must be powered.  I’m guessing the K3S supplies that voltage since it works locally.  The RemoteRig manual says the following:

"Control-RRC only: JMP-1 is placed behind the TTL connector. With the strap in place a DC voltage is feed to the microphone element. All ICOM microphones should be DC-feed. Dynamic microphones like the ones used by Kenwood should not be DC-feed. HEIL microphones should not be DC-feed either."
It kind of contradicts since it states that Hiel mics should not be DC fed, but maybe that was for the older HC4/5 elements.

Anyway, all of the pieces were purchase from Elecraft, so I would assume they would all work together.  :-)

Jim

With the MH2 hand mic everything works great, but with my new Heil ProSet with the iC element (purchased from Elecraft), I do not get any transmit audio at all.  Running the ProSet into the local K3S (no RemoteRig), I am getting audio out, so I know the headset is fine.
