G'day Matt, I use my K3 with an MH2 microphone most of the time though for contesting I switch over to a Yamaha CM500 headset. I have found the MH2 to be an excellent mike but you will need to set the TX EQ's 3 lowest bands to their lowest level. Leave all other bands at the 0db point ant you will find that your transmitted audio to be pretty well 'spot on'. Most people I have spoken to with K3's and MH2's use exactly the same settings with great results. (BTW, the same settings also work quite well for the CM500 here too!) I hope this helps. 73 de

My shack contains K3 #24, using a Heil Goldline on the narrow setting. This combination produces very clear and penetrating TX audio. K3 mobile use means a handheld mic, which the Goldie is not. I'm considering the MH2 (and other handheld mics) for this mobile/portable ECOM application, but have only heard one MH2/K3 on the air, and that was without a comparison test (and it was very brief). I wasn't underwhelmed, but didn't get enough to go on for a fair evaluation. Most of my operations right now are with Navy-Marine Corps MARS but I also work a little SSB on the weekends, and will do more of this when the mobile is in place. Like anyone else, I want it to sound as good as the base rig, if possible. Doesn't anyone have feedback on the MH2 with the K3? For example: - Clarity of the voice, how narrow banded does it sound without TX EQ? - What is the difference between the Goldie on Narrow and the MH2? - Any recommended TX EQ settings? - Has anyone run comparison spectra, using the K3 with MH2 and some other mobile mic(s)? Would prefer the RX spectrums if available. Thanks for ANY feedback! 73, matt W6NIA / NNN0UET K3 #24, K2 #2810, etc. ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
