[Elecraft] K3 & Heil HM-10 Dual

[Jim McDonald]

I have the HM10 Dual and HC4 headsets.  They do NOT need the bias.  I've used the HC4 with and without TXEQ; both are fine.

That depends on the mic itself.  The HC4- and HC5-based mics need bias ON, but don't know about the others (HC6?). Donis correct about the gain range setting.  Both elements are low output, so use 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!
