Heil IC mic
Locked
 
|
I just hooked a hand held Heil with the IC element I just purchased. I got this one as I liked the performance of the Heil headseat with this element that I purchased with the rig from Elecraft.
Now after getting it connected it seems like a dead mic compared to the headseat. I have cranked up the gain from low to high and I still need the mic line in setting at 45. The original head set needed low gain and the line in set to 10 for full ALC action. Also the power meeter on the tuner shows lower power with this mic. Am I missing something with the handheld setup as I really liked the performance of the IC in the proset Thanks Don KD8NNU Sent from my Palm Pre on the Now Network from Sprint ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[hidden email] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html |

I think the Icom elements require the bias.

Don,
Did you turn on the bias? That mic needs it (as do all microphones with an electret element). See the main menu MIC SEL - tap button 2 to toggle the bias. 73, Don W3FPR On 4/30/2011 2:35 PM, don Swetzig wrote: > I just hooked a hand held Heil with the IC element I just purchased.

Yes bias is on same as the head set.
Could it be a cable issue? KD8NNU Sent from my Palm Pre on the Now Network from Sprint On Apr 30, 2011 2:47 PM, Don Wilhelm <[hidden email]> wrote: Don, Did you turn on the bias?

The beta release and the new option for mic gain on hi or low by the
push of 7 fixed my problem Guess the elecraft team knew I was getting a new mic.
