Ques on Elecraft/Heil headset mic

[Steve Uhrig]

Hi all,

I'm trying to shoot down an ongoing low TX audio problem on 75 meters
with my K2 s/n 661 upgraded to latest everything courtesy of N0SS.

I bought a Heil headset from Elecraft to replace a thoroughly worn out $2
computer headset. The computer headset worked fine, but was uncomfortable
and wore out in only a few years.

The Heil headset works seemingly OK, but I notice the mike boom on the
headset has the first two letters of the iC (OM) logo on it.

Could someone else check their Heil/Elecraft headset and advise what
label is on the boom where it attaches to the side of the headset? Mine
has a small round white label.

Want to eliminate a potential wrong mic element in the headset before
digging any deeper.

Tks all .... Steve WA3SWS        K2 s/n 661

hi

mine has the ic label on it also. The Heil mikes for Elecraft radios use the
Icom element as it has a higher output than the dynamic elements. Check the
menu to make sure you don't have the mike attenuator turned on.
