[Elecraft] K3S and Heil PR10

[Tom]

Don,
You may be correct.  Fred in his book recommends High for Heil mics, both
electrek and dynamic where as Heil only recommends High for the electrek.

I would have thought if the Heil site was wrong someone would have noticed
it by now and Heil would have changed it.

I also thought the Heil electrek mics were high output so find it strange
that they would not require a low setting.
