Heil HC-4 headset (the mic has a rising characteristic at 2500 Hz) on a K3s.

Using the Heil Kenwood adapter on the front Mic jack, with a Heil  
footswitch plugged into the inline 1/4" jack.  The headset audio has a  
1/8" stereo plug, so it plugs into the rear headphone jack.

Mic settings

MIC SEL FP.H
TX EQ 0.05 -16 dB
       0.10 -14 dB
       0.20 -4  dB
       0.40 +0  dB
       0.80 +2  dB
       1.60 +4  dB
       2.40 +8  dB
       3.20 +12 dB
MIC LEV 10
MIC CMP 20

I get many unsolicited on-air reports of "excellent audio".

73,
