Settings for Heil Pro7 on K3

Hank Pollard
Need settings to configure Heil Pro 7 to my K3. I have the adaptor which is the 8 pin plug for the front of the K3. I also ordered the dynamic mic set up. I can trip the PTT with vox and with the PTT switch that came with the head phones, but I can't get any audible signal into the head phones. I would prefer not to have any audible from the K3 speaker, just the phones. Any help appreciated!

Hank,

Is the adapter you have the Kenwood adapter?  Red band?
When you talk into the microphone, do you see 5 to 7 bars on the ALC
meter?  If not, adjust the Mic Gain on the K3.
That should take care of the microphone end of it.

The headphones are a different consideration from the microphone.
Do you have the headphone plug plugged into the K3 headphone jack?
Adjust the AF gain until you can hear the receiver at a volume suitable
for you.
If you adjust the MONitor level, you will be able to hear you
transmitted audio in the headphones.  None should appear in the speaker
unless you unplug the headphones (or you have speaker + phones set to ON
in the menu).

So, set SPKR+PHONES to OFF and it should work as you desire - until you
remove the headphones from the jack.

73,
