Heil Mic Element with K3?

[Elecraft mailing list]

 

 

Question:

 

Will a Heil headphone (example Pro set) with Icom Element work on a K3
without any modifications (Just K3 Microphone settings) when plugged into
the rear of the radio?

 

Thanks for the help.

Bill,

It should work fine.  Turn bias on and give it a try.

Thanks to the replies:

Yes.  The IC [actually all electret elements] require that bias be on,
dynamics need bias off, but my Proset IC works just fine.

 There is no magic to mic elements   some ICOMs like higher output of
electret

The K3 has such a broad range of what kind of mic you can plug in
there will be no problem so long as the connector is correct  as the
round Icom 8 pin is different than Kenwood/Elecraft wiring.

Elecraft sells the Heil IC (electret element) headset so yes it will work
fine.
