Heil Proset is great with K3 and KX3 both. Different settings but each
sounds excellent. You may not like Proset on portable, it is large for
that, use a small, light computer headset with electret element if you
prefer VOX. I use a small Panasonic that requires more mic gain than
than Proset.

Same as we say in the pro audio world about Bose -- "Better sound

Well heck, Elecraft has only sold eight or nine thousand KX3’s. Heil should
wait until it is a sure thing. That is just good business.

Carl,
Take note that Heil does not offer an adapter to use its microphones
with the KX3.
Need I say more?

Hi Carl,
It's a common mistake to believe that the more expensive Heil should sound
better than less expensive alternatives. I think you will be very pleasantly
surprised with on-air comparisons to the CM500.

Before you replace the element take some time with a trusted local who
knows you voice and adjust the transmit equalizer. Makes all the difference
in the world.

If what they are telling you is that it sounds tinny, that is the HC4. It is
supposed to be good for 'penetrating' pileups, but doesn't sound very good.

I have a Heil Proset with the ic element. I get fairly lack luster
audio reports. What would be the best replacement element to use? I
assume that it's a fairly simple operation to replace the ic element
