that the standard Kenwood cable CC-1XLR-K, with the red connector is perfect for the K3 (HRO price $35.95). 73, Ed - KL7UW -- Message: 7 Date: Thu, 3 Jun 2010 18:49:12 + (GMT) From: John Lawrence j...@hughes.net Subject: [Elecraft] K3 with Heil HC-5 To: elecraft

Egads, $35 + shipping for a 6 cable that can be made for a few bux. What a rip off. 73 de Brian/K3KO Turns out that the standard Kenwood cable CC-1XLR-K, with the red connector is perfect for the K3 (HRO price $35.95). __ Elecraft

Well, maybe. But there are people that don't have the time/skill but have the money and are willing to pay the price ;) 73, Tony W7GO Brian Alsop wrote: Egads, $35 + shipping for a 6 cable that can be made for a few bux. What a rip off. 73 de Brian/K3KO Turns out that the standard

A CC-1XLR-K isn't just a 6 cable. It's an 8 footer using high quality mic cable with a 3 pin XLR connector on one end and an 8 pin mic connector with 1/4 PTT plug on the other end. Well worth it to me... Rick K6LE On 6/5/2010, at 4:35 , Brian Alsop wrote: Egads, $35 + shipping for a 6

For as little as $50.00 plus postage you can get a Yamaha CM-500 that sounds terrific and is Plug N Play...now that's a better deal... Just my 2 cents worth, you can keep the change...(Grin) Gary VK4FD - Portable - always On Sun, Jun 6, 2010 at 6:47 AM, Rick Prather k6limae...@gmail.com

Same here. HC-5, Mic Gain 22, Comp 24 then tweak TX eq to suit voice. 73 Stewart G3RXQ On Thu, 3 Jun 2010 18:49:12 + (GMT), John Lawrence wrote: I've settled down on the HC-5 as the best sounding SSB TX audio. It was after spending the time to determine that this was the right answer for

If I would set mic gain to 22 with my HC5 I would overmodulate. In my case gain 12 and comp 25 is just fine, however it might differ with how one sets the TX EQ. With this setting I get full PEP power. / Jim SM2EKM -- On 2010-06-04 10:28, Stewart wrote: Same here. HC-5, Mic Gain

l liked HC5 because it did not need any equalization (except during contest) and had low noise pickup. Mic gain about 17. Comp set to 15-20 during causal QSO, 24 when DXing or poor propagation, and 28-30 when contesting or in pileup. Ignacy, NO9E -- View this message in context:

Isn't there a high and low gain setting, besides just the numerical gain?? :-) - Original Message - From: Stewart stew...@baker.nildram.co.uk To: Jan Erik Holm sm2...@telia.com Cc: elecraft@mailman.qth.net Sent: Friday, June 04, 2010 10:23 AM Subject: Re: [Elecraft] K3 with Heil HC-5

I've settled down on the HC-5 as the best sounding SSB TX audio. It was after spending the time to determine that this was the right answer for the K3. The TX equalizer should be tailored based on your own voice to give it the best fidelity. Because of my great audio, I get asked what mic I'm
