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.

As most know, this has been well discussed in must about every radio forum
out there.
Mics are a personal preference and there are 2 camps in tailoring of mic
audio.

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.

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.
Carl,
Are you sure you have the the menus set correctly? For the Heil Pro Set (“IC”
model) MIC BIAS should be “on” and MIC BTN should be “off”. I have one of
those Heil Pro Set (IC) models, but haven’t tried it, or my Yamaha CM500, on
the KX3. I use the MH3. The manual suggests that you

If what they are telling you is that it sounds tinny, that is the HC4. It is

knows you voice and adjust the transmit equalizer. Makes all the difference
