I am going to be selling a K-POD that I bought used about a year ago. I have
never programmed the device so all I know about it is that the LEDs light
and when the knob is turned the vfo changes frequency. My main question is
how much is it worth? I have the cables but do not have the user manual.

Do any of the mics you mentioned have frequency

Hi
Well I checked the antenna and it is just as before the problem.
Is the capacitor setting normally checked by default?
This setting was not chosen automatically.
After I enabled the capacitor setting the tuner tuned immediately to a
low SWR on the low end of the band.
I noticed that
could it be that Knowles was the microphone vendor for Heil for that
series ?
probably

If you don't have a specific reason for changing these values you should regard
these as
Let's start with the basic facts.
Rig --> amp --> KAT500 --> antenna/s (with the tuner blocking the amp
key in while tuning).
1) The KAT500 was working successfully 'for years' without issue.
2) There was a sudden change in operation.
This doesn't necessarily mean it was the tuner; it more
Most D-104 mikes are not suited for use with today's radios. The
original D-104 was designed to work into a load impedance of 4 meg-ohms
or higher. Today's radios microphone input is about 50k ohms or so.
The result is then excessive load on the D-104 element. This is the
major cause of

Thanks for the references.
Some of the elements from the harmonica place are interesting, but expensive.
A good source, if they are OK.

Hi Tony,
I've noticed that whenever I adjust the drive on the K3 either up or
down, there is an initial power overshoot on the first dit after the
adjustment. I use an Alpha 87A which can be sensitive to drive
(sometimes the overshoot causes a grid over-current fault), so I've
gotten into
No actual replacement found so far, but several nice dynamic/electret
conversions.
Encouraged by this posting on QRZ, D-104 Element Repair - Mike Harrison

It's actually no problem at all and I found multiple problems:
Moreover, Bob Heil retired and sold the company earlier this month.

Heil Sound stopped selling HC4 and HC5 mike elements many years ago. (10 years
ago?)
I think part of the rationale was that modern rigs have built-in equalizers
that eliminated the need for a crystal microphone with a tailored response.

I really like the AlexMic--a speaker mic for the KX2/KX3 with lots of RX
audio. Rechargeable battery.
