I agree with Jim about NOT using the Heil recommended settings. I use both the Heil Gold Elite (hold over from another rig), and the Yamaha CM500. 
I use the exact same EQ settings for both mics. I use the Heil Gold Elite, set in the wide position for general rag chewing, and the CM500 for contesting and hunting DX. 
EQ settings similar to Jim. 1, 2, and 3 -16, 4 = -3, 5 and 6 = 0, 7 = +12, and 8 = +9 

Front Panel Mic H. (Heil) Mic gain 30, Compression 17. Gives me 5-6 bars ALC and 10DB of Compression. Not to punchy easy to listen to. 
Rear Panel Mic L. Bias On (CM500), Mic gain 3, Compression 17, Gives me the same as above ALC and Comp. Crystal clear punchy audio. 

I have Macros M3 and M4 programed to switch between the two mics. 

The same EQ settings end up being a really nice match to both mics and serve the purpose for intentions.
