Oops. Thanks for catching that. I must have turned it on when I was

You do not want bias on for a HC4, it is a dynamic insert.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 + Heil HC4

2009-12-24 Thread Mike
Do you have MENU:MIC SEL set to FP.H? BIAS on? Mic gain on my setup is 25.

I put an ohmeter on the adapter, and pin 1 is the hot lead, pin 7 is 
ground. Are you sure you're looking at the pins correctly?
Looking into the connector on the front of the K3, pin 1 is on the left 
of the key "bump" and pin 7 is on the right. The pins are numbered 
anti-clockwise from 1 to 7, with 8 being in the middle. I don't think 
the Heil adapter has anything inside the shell, no extra components.

Don't have one , wired directly  from Heil mic jack 3.5mm tip to  K3 Mic 
connector pin 1 and  ground to  ground -pin 7 (8).
Does anyone have Kenwood adapter schematic?

Re: [Elecraft] K3 + Heil HC4

2009-12-23 Thread Don Wilhelm
You say the rear panel settings work - put those same settings on the FP 
mic menu and try it.
If a condenser mic element works on the FP, then you must have Bias set 
on - turn it off for the HC-4 and set the range to H.
You must have the Kenwood adapter to use the front panel connector.  
IIRC, the color band for the Kenwood adapter is red.

Don W3FPR
