Good Evening,   It was cool and sunny this week, perfect for splitting wood and marking the last property line.  Now it is foggy, wet, and cool. All that firewood makes a cozy fire.  The loggers have moved in some heavy equipment with more due on Monday.  For the next month I won't need to

Re: [Elecraft] case for KX3?

Good evening, Mike: I definitely concur with Steve in leaving room to have enough padding on all sides. Just now, I checked as I have an unused Apache 1800. My KX3 would fit; however, there is not enough room for padding on the sides. With the left side of the KX3 almost touching the interior

I have my KX3 & PX3 in an Apache 3800 and the KXPA100 in a 2800. No experience with the 1800. In general, the Apache cases offer good protection and value. I have no idea how well the KX3 fits inside the 1800, but be sure to leave room for foam on all sides. In fact, I'd probably suggest the

Kevin, I have not looked into the DX Engineering adapter to see how it is wired. You should get that information from DXE. What is apparently conflicting advice comes from the fact that all Heil ProSets are not equal and not all are supplied with an adapter. There are 2 basic types, one

No, not all Heil prosets use a condenser mike. Only the ones made for Icom rigs. If you bought yours from Elecraft that is probably what you have. Both of mine are not and have a dynamic elements. You can safely experiment with your KX3 by turning the power down to 0.0, at that stting on power out

The Elecraft Heil Proset uses an electret mic element, so it needs bias. Yours uses a dynamic element, so it does not need bias. Your adapter from DX Engineering brings out the PTT contacts separately, so you should leave MIC BTN to PTT. wunder K6WRU Walter Underwood CM87wj

Hello, new subscriber here. Thanks for setting up this list. I'm trying to connect a Heil Pro Set Elite headphones and mic to a KX-3. I'm confused by what I'm thinking is conflicting advice. The Heil mic has a dynamic element, while the KX-3 is normally used with the MH-3 mic with an electret
