Microphones for K3?

[Bill Maddock-2]

Guys,

   I have a factory kenwood mic mc-43, a MC-60A and
a Heil Pro set all for my TS-850S; will these work
without a rewire? Also who has bought the TXCO what
difference does it make?

Thanks and 73m

>    I have a factory kenwood mic mc-43,

Yes (I'm using one)

>   a MC-60A

Maybe.  It will work if you leave the preamplifier off or use batteries.

Otherwise the connection on pin 5 of the mic plug (rig) will need to be
moved to pin 6.

> a Heil Pro set all for my TS-850S;

Yes, if it is the HC-4 or HC-5 version and you are using the Heil AD-1K
adapter (or you connect it to the rear panel mic input).  I'm also using

a ProSet with HC-5.

The Kenwood MC-43S is a very popular microphone with both the K2 and the
K3, Bill.  It will plug in and work without modification to the wiring
of the 8-pin connector.

K3 on order.  I have the original Heil Gold Line with the HC-5 and the full
range elements that I planned to use on my K3.  It is wired Kenwood 8 pin
(TS-440).  Ready to go ????

TIA es 73, de Jim KG0KP

Hi Jim,
I use the Goldline on the K3 with the EQ virtually flat.  For ragchew on
80m I use the broadcast element and for DX the HC5 without having to
make any changes to the gains etc.  IMHO the K3 and the GM5 are a
marriage made in heaven :-)
