I've had a few responses to my earlier query re using the Heil Proset iC with the K3, others who have had similar problems - you are not alone!

Here is my original post:

"Using the K3, has anyone else had problems with the Heil Proset supplied by Elecraft (model iC) as to audio feedback on VOX, very sensitive controls of VOX gain and Mic gain, etc. etc?


These problems can be masked as RFI, but adding toroids on the cable has little effect. No other microphones seem to have these problems"

Note that the Elecraft mobile mic. also has an electret cartridge, but I usually use PTT with it, and would not notice VOX problems.


I've wrestled with this for 6 years, and finally decided to beat it. I had the same problems on my Kenwood TS590, with this headset.

My solution was to buy a Heil Proset 6, with the HC6 cartridge, a cartridge with much, much lower output. In the past couple of days, I've tested it on the K3 and my Kenwood TS590 ... works a treat, and nooooooooo problems!
