I have been using the Heil built Elecraft OEM hand mic for my K3 since I
built the rig. It is a good mic and garnered many unsolicitated positive
audio reports. However, I longed for a PTT desk mic - as I had back in
the 70s and 80s with my Kenwoods (MC50 days).
So I ordered an MC60A and today received it. Life is so simple with the
K3 - it took me much longer to type the below than it did to actually do
it:
I changed to Mic Sel FP.H, the Comp remained at 20, and the Mic gain to
35 - my TxEq is 0 0 0 0 0 +3 +8 +6 (which is the setting I used
for the hand mic). I placed the batteries in the MC60A and turned on the
mic's pre-amp. No changes were made to any wiring as I am not using the
K3's bias supply and the MC60A's pin 6 is not connected to anything. I
As a bonus, the Up-Down tune buttons on the desk mic work great. After
the MIC and CMP settings were made, I locked them - avoiding bumping
them and messing things up later (CONFIG: PWR SET and press 1).
I am getting great audio reports - all from folks whom know what I am
supposed to sound like. No science of audiology was used in determining
my EQ settings - I merely use what sounds good.
Life is good - enjoy it!
