Heil PR 781 microphone settings

[Richard Robbins]

I just completed assembling sn 976 and am now attempting to set my K3 up.  One area I would appreciate some assistance on is the settings for a Heil PR 781 microphone.  I have played around with mike gain, cmp, alc and transmit eq settings but it is difficult to really know how you sound with just the monitor circuit.  If anyone can give me a starting point for this mike I would appreciate it.  I like to chase DX so I am looking for settings which will give some "punch".  I would also like to know if anyone has played around with the CONFIG:TXG VCE menu which is suppose to adjust voice transmit gain balance.  73, Richard N4WDU

For what it may be worth, I have used +1.0 and +1.5 on the CONFIG:TXG VCE
menu.  +1.5 is a bit high but +1.0 seems about right to me.  With an
indicated CW power out of 1 KW, I read about 1.5 KW PEP on a Coaxial
Dynamics peak reading watt meter with CONFIG:TXG VCE at +1.  I don't think
it is wise to go any higher with it.
