Heil ProSet headphones with K2 on SSB... enough mic gain?

[Tom Hammond-3]

Folks:

I've just completed building a new (#6098) K2 for a friend who will
use it on SSB.

He intends to use the Heil Proset headset (and mic) with the K2.

I recall that my (VERY EARLY vintage!!) K2 was a bit short on mic
gain when not used with a mic which included a preamp, and that I had
to make a couple mods to my KSB2 in order to obtain adequate SSB output.

Those you you who have relatively new K2s, say s/n 5000 and up, is
anyone using the Heil Proset Headphone/boom mic combo on SSB? And do
you have adequate mic gain, or did you have to mod the KSB2 to increase drive?

THanks for any responses.

73,

K2 #8... (well, I said it was 'vintage').

Hi Tom,

I gave up fiddling with mics to use with the K2. I bought the proset
made for the K2. It plays very good, no gain problem here. Recommend!
