K3 Mics - ( Heil GM5)

John W. Tipka
I am using either a Heil GM4 or GM5 mic plugged into the K3 rear jack
through a Microham Microkeyer with DB37-EL-K3R  cable. The
Microkeyer cable mates with the Heil GM4 and GM5 Kenwood cable
with no modifications. Both mics are high impedance.

However, with just the Heil Kenwood cable, the GM5 works fine in
the front panel connector.

My setup:
Rear:
CONFIG  rP.H -  with MIC Gain 29  VOX Gain 21 AntiVox 14
or
Front panel:
CONFIG - FP.H with exact same settings as above.

I already had a collection of microphones before I bought my K3.  They all
can be made to sound fine.  I use a Heil HC4 and an old Shure 444D with no
TX EQ.  I do have a fancy Heil PR781 but I set the TX EQ so that it sounds
pretty much like an HC4, though I think it sounds better (or maybe I just
want to think that).

I'm in an unfinished basement with the furnace/air conditioner just across
the room.  The K3's TX gate is very nice.  I always use VOX.
