[Elecraft] K3S and Heil PR10

[RIchard Williams]

Don,
Can't argue with the advice in your email; in fact, I think the best response I have read.
As for "how you sound" on the other end, one setting no one mentioned is transmitter equalizer settings.  I could be wrong, but from what I remember, Heil used to sell mics with a freq response tailored to communications.  Now, with all the new rigs having the ability to adjust the frequency response to match your voice, the new mics are wide range (pro 10 specs are, "Producing full articulate sound from 85Hz to 16kHz".   Now, you can adjust the freq response of your rig to match your voice.
Having said the above, I have to admit I haven't "played" with the equalizer, so my settings are 0 dB across the board.  Might be interesting to hear from a few of you that have made changes, how you evaluated your changes, and (in the long run) have you found it made any difference.   Additionally, I would think what your interests are, will affect what settings you find work the best (DXing or ragchewing).

The real bottom line is to use the indication on the K3 (K3S, KX3 and 
KX2) ALC meter.
If you are driving the voice audio up to the 5 to 7 bars level, that is 
correct.  If it is going higher reduce the MIC gain or switch to the low 
mic gain setting.

If it is lower than the 5 to 7 bars, increase the mic gain or switch to 
the high mic gain range.
