Heil headset with K3

Cqtestk4xs
I've been using a Heil Quiet Phone headset (HC 4 cartridge) from  the very
first day I got my K3.  It took a bit of trial and error to  find the
correct settings.  I did not use the monitor to set it up, I used  another xcvr
listening to the transmitted signal.
 
Not a day goes by that I don't get an unsolicited comment that goes  
something like "excellent audio."  I even got two notices from ARRL  Official
Observers complimenting the audio.
 
This is not to say that the HC4 element works for everyone's voice,  just
that it does a good job with mine, which is somewhat low  pitched.
 
My settings:
Mic gain........ 7
Compression......... 24
audio shaping........I flatten the highs, keep the midrange flat,  and
boost the lows.
 
Your mileage my vary.
