KX3 and the Heil Gold Elite Michrophone

[David Ahrendts]

Friends, you are an incredible group of amateur radio enthusiasts, and I am so looking forward my KX3 kit and it’s companion KXPA100 arriving next week. I’m transitioning from the Kenwood TS-480HX (no complaints about it at all) where I use Bob Heil’s Gold Elite michrophone (little bit of a base boost to really impress people, and a switch that allows you to narrow up the audio to push through pile-ups). Heil does not have a KX3 cable or an adapter for the Gold Elite. Does anyone use a Heil microphone with the KX3?
Many thanks. This list, BTW, convinced me to get on board.

Bass boost is a REALLY bad idea, because it steals TX power for voice
content that reduces speech intelligibility. The best EQ for competitive
SSB is severe rolloff below 400 Hz, flat above that. The good news is
that the graphic EQ built into the KX3 makes this easy.
