[Elecraft] KX3 with older Heil headset

[Bert]

Thanks all for your suggestions how to use the old Heil headset with an 
HC-4 element.
Unfortunately, I couldn't make it work and sound good with the KX3.

You have to crank up the mic gain very high and it sounds like you're in 
a barrel!

It's an old headset but I don't want to throw it away, so I'll probably 
replace the
HC-4 element with an electret.
