Use of Heil HC-4/5 and Behringer T-1 Microphone

Has anyone tried using a Heil Gold with the HC5 and HC5 cartridge
microphone or a Behringer T-1 Condenser microphone with a KX3 ? Any
recommendation for the settings: Mic gain; CMP; TX Equalization. The H3
microphone works great but I want to use my KX3 with my boom mics.
Thanks.

Using the K3 ACC socket

Hi everyone!
I have a question about the ACC socket on the K3.
I saw on HamNation that Icom IC-7000 gives you this ACC pigtail cable with all the leads marked, so that you could plug it in and easily pick out the pins you need to use for whatever it is you're doing.
Does Elecraft have something like that available? I couldn't really find one...
Instead, i saw this thing online: http://www.winfordeng.com/products/brksd15hd.php
Its a DB15HD breakout connector that gives you screw terminal for each of the pins (K3 does have the regular Female DB15 High Density, 3-row connector, right?).
Is that something that you guys are using?

This site seems to have a lot of these sort of connectors...

Thanks!

Re: Using the K3 ACC socket

I'm using the Winford boards along with the DIN rails mounted on an
aluminum panel by my desk. Very nice way to break out the AUX connector as
well as to break out pins from RS232 lines to perform other functions. The
little bit of proto room on each board makes adding translator transistors,
etc, easy.

In reply to this post by W2RMS

Slava,

Thank you for posting the breakout connector. I am always soldering or
crimping DB-9 and DE-15 connectors for shop projects.

Answering your question, I use a Timewave "Navigator" interface here and
built the interconnect cable myself, for PTT IN and FSK keying via the
K3 ACC connector. I normally use solder type DB-9 and DB-15 connectors
as the pins are a bit more stable. I have had some the crimp style
connectors back out on me.

The ICOM gear uses a 13 pin DIN connector and the pigtail is really
short, about 3 inches, so you still need some type of terminal block or
you can just solder splice the connection. The one I received was not
marked but the wires are color coded.

As an aside, the Navigator has been my favorite interface for years and
it provides such trouble free installation and application, that I
highly recommend it. Provided via 6 USB/Serial ports are CAT, PTT,
WinKey (internal to the Navigator), True FSK with compatible radios of
which the K3 is one, an Auxilliary RS232 port always handy around the
shack, and lastly a port to configure the built in, low noise, USB
Codec, FSK parameters etc. It makes all the CAT,PTT, FSK,CW Key,
soundcard in and out rear panel connections to the K3 via a single USB
connection that is very RFI safe.
