I bought a Heil HM-10-5 mic back in 2000 when I bought my FT-847. This is the original style that sets in a cradle stand. I chose the HC-5 element for good voice fidelity and always get good reports. When I bought the K3/10 I contacted HRO for the correct connector cable. Turns out that the standard Kenwood cable CC-1XLR-K, with the red connector is perfect for the K3 (HRO price $35.95).

It was after spending the time to determine that this was the right answer for the K3. The TX equalizer should be tailored based on your own voice to give it the best fidelity. Because of my great audio, I get asked what mic I'm using on many occasions. Mic Gain setting:19 Compression setting: 24 Good luck 73, John, W!QS ______________________________________________________________ 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
