K3 with Heil HC-5

I bought a Heil HM-10-5 mic back in 2000 when I bought my
FT-847. This is the original style that sets in a cradle stand. I
chose the HC-5 element for good voice fidelity and always get good
reports. When I bought the K3/10 I contacted HRO for the correct
connector cable. Turns out that the standard Kenwood cable
CC-1XLR-K, with the red connector is perfect for the K3 (HRO price $35.95).

I've settled down on the HC-5 as the best sounding SSB TX audio. It
was after spending the time to determine that this was the right
answer for the K3.

The TX equalizer should be tailored based on your own voice to give
it the best fidelity. Because of my great audio, I get asked what mic
I'm using on many occasions. Mic Gain setting:19 Compression setting: 24

Good luck

Egads, $35 + shipping for a 6" cable that can be made for a few bux.
What a rip off.

VFO B with VFO A

I want to keep a freq set in VFO B when switching to a new VFO A freq using
the memory. The problem is I lose VFO B freq because in switches to the
memory set for VFO B for the memory location in VFO A.

Is there any way to use memory for VFO A only without changing the freq set
in VFO B ?

Tnx,
Jack

Well, maybe.
But there are people that don't have the time/skill but have the money
and are willing to pay the price ;>)

Re: K3 with Heil HC-5

Cost of labor and a commercial retail source. For a while DIY wasn't
that much of a difference.

A CC-1XLR-K isn't just a "6" cable".

It's an 8 footer using high quality mic cable with a 3 pin XLR connector on one end and an 8 pin mic connector with 1/4" PTT plug on the other end.

Well worth it to me...

Re: K3 with Heil HC-5

For as little as $50.00 plus postage you can get a Yamaha CM-500 that
sounds terrific and is "Plug N Play"...now that's a better deal...

Just my 2 cents worth, you can keep the change...(Grin)
