[Elecraft] K3S and Heil PR10

[Tom Robertson]

Something isn’t racking then because Fred in his K3s book recommends high for the electrek mic.  Per Fred and Heil’s recommendation I am using a Heil BM-10ic and have the radio set to High with bias and I get good audio reports.

You have me wondering now?
