[Elecraft] K3S and Heil PR10

[Don Wilhelm]

Tom,

Unless I read the K3 and K3S manual incorrectly, Heil has the "HIGH" and 
"LOW" mic gain settings reversed.

The HIGH and LOW settings refer to the mic gain, and not to the 
microphone output.  Those Heil mics have very low output and should use 
the HIGH mic gain setting.

In this case, while setting up the MAIN: MIC SEL menu, tap [I] to toggle to "LOW" Mic Gain, and be absolutely certain that Mic Bias is off by tapping [2], as needed, to toggle to "OFF" for Mic Bias.

Keep in mind this will have much more output and 'may' overdrive the mic preamp so keep ALC in range.
