The XMIT button should parallel the foot switch. I would bet your problem was pressing the button for too long - which activates the tune function with (as you observe) no audio. Just "tap" the button and it should put you into transmit with audio.

I figured out what the problem was.

I was using the XMIT button on the front of the K3S to go to transmit mode.  
The TX light turned on, but no audio was passed.  I then plugged in a foot 
switch on the mic cable and the remote goes into transmit mode and passes audio.

It appears to have been user error on my part, thinking that the XMIT button 
would do the trick.

Thanks for the input from a couple of guys.

Hi Mitch.  Thanks for the response.

The Heil is plugged into the front AUX/MIC jack.  The headset first goes 
through the adapter changing the 1/8” plug to plug compatible with the front of 
the K3S.  That plug then goes into a second adapter that converts it into the 
RJ45 plug that connects to the AUX/MIC jack.

 From what I can gather, then iC element is a condenser type that must be 
powered.  I’m guessing the K3S supplies that voltage since it works locally.  
The RemoteRig manual says the following:

"Control-RRC only: JMP-1 is placed behind the TTL connector. With the strap in place 
a DC voltage is feed to the microphone element. All ICOM microphones should be DC-feed. 
Dynamic microphones like the ones used by Kenwood should not be DC-feed. HEIL microphones 
should not be DC-feed either."
It kind of contradicts since it states that Hiel mics should not be DC fed, but 
maybe that was for the older HC4/5 elements.

Anyway, all of the pieces were purchase from Elecraft, so I would assume they 
would all work together.  :-)

Jim,

Is the Heil plugged into the rear, or the front? If in the rea, then you must 
first unplug the RRC to prevent a remote connect, then switch the audio to the 
rear jack. If you leave the RRC's connected, you will only change the remote K3 
and not the control K3.

I have a K3S connected to a remote K3 using the RemoteRig boxes.  With the MH2 
hand mic everything works great, but with my new Heil ProSet with the iC 
element (purchased from Elecraft), I do not get any transmit audio at all.  
Running the ProSet into the local K3S (no RemoteRig), I am getting audio out, 
so I know the headset is fine.

Is there a configuration change that needs to be made on the RemoteRig to work 
with this ProSet iC element?

Thanks, Jim - KK7A
