Bass boost is a REALLY bad idea, because it steals TX power for voice 
content that reduces speech intelligibility. The best EQ for competitive 
SSB is severe rolloff below 400 Hz, flat above that. The good news is 
that the graphic EQ built into the KX3 makes this easy.

[Elecraft] KX3 and the Heil Gold Elite Michrophone

2014-10-09 Thread David Ahrendts
Friends, you are an incredible group of amateur radio enthusiasts, and I am so 
looking forward my KX3 kit and it’s companion KXPA100 arriving next week. I’m 
transitioning from the Kenwood TS-480HX (no complaints about it at all) where I 
use Bob Heil’s Gold Elite michrophone (little bit of a base boost to really 
impress people, and a switch that allows you to narrow up the audio to push 
through pile-ups). Heil does not have a KX3 cable or an adapter for the Gold 
Elite. Does anyone use a Heil microphone with the KX3?
Many thanks. This list, BTW, convinced me to get on board.
