I already had a collection of microphones before I bought my K3. They all can be made to sound fine. I use a Heil HC4 and an old Shure 444D with no TX EQ. I do have a fancy Heil PR781 but I set the TX EQ so that it sounds pretty much like an HC4, though I think it sounds better (or maybe I just want to think that).
I'm in an unfinished basement with the furnace/air conditioner just across the room. The K3's TX gate is very nice. I always use VOX. 73, Jim N7US -----Original Message----- I am using either a Heil GM4 or GM5 mic plugged into the K3 rear jack through a Microham Microkeyer with DB37-EL-K3R cable. The Microkeyer cable mates with the Heil GM4 and GM5 Kenwood cable with no modifications. Both mics are high impedance. However, with just the Heil Kenwood cable, the GM5 works fine in the front panel connector. My setup: Rear: CONFIG rP.H - with MIC Gain 29 VOX Gain 21 AntiVox 14 or Front panel: CONFIG - FP.H with exact same settings as above.
