[Elecraft] RemoteRig Microphone Question

[George Kidder]

The XMIT button should parallel the foot switch.  I would bet your 
problem was pressing the button for too long - which activates the tune 
function with (as you observe) no audio.  Just "tap" the button and it 
should put you into transmit with audio.

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.
