[Elecraft] K3 & Heil HM-10 Dual

[Steve Wilson]

I may have misread the Heil webpage. Heil responded and told me to read the K3 manual. Ummm...I was. I just thought the Heil page would help clarify things. It did not, IMHO, and Elecraft couldn't help either. It would help if people, such as Heil, understood that we aren't all mic experts! <sigh>
This scenario kind of reminds me of the old days of supporting leased data lines when Pac Bell was responsible for the ends and AT&T in the middle. LOL!
Thanks, Steve

Steve,

Heil is giving out erroneous information.  The low output Heil 
microphones require setting the K3 mic gain range to HIGH.

I reviewed the webpage on the Heil Sound website here: https://heilsound.com/heil-amateur-radio/support/dsp-settings/all-things-elecraft/  Unfortunately, the page refers to the mic with regard to the front panel setting, but does not specifically refer to the mic model with respect to the mic gain and mic bias settings. I sent an email to Heil Sound suggesting that the missing detail be added for this particular mic. But thought I'd ask here, in case anyone knew the answer. I deduced that the setting should be Front Panel, Low, No Bias, but am not 100% sure about that!
