That's why one adds a 0.1 uF capacitor in series with the mic hot
lead in the base.   Take your time and try 0.05, 0.1 and 0.5 uF
to find one that fits your voice and the rig.  It will roll off
the excess bass and provide a rising characteristic through out
the entire voice range.

The MC-90 actually includes switch selected .22 uF and .047 uF
capacitors with 1.2K shunt across the mic line to the rig.

These techniques have been around for 40 years or more ... it
used to be a .001 uF in series with the high impedance mics to
the Collins, Drake and Heath rigs in the day.

looking at transportability across multiple radios should it ever occur.

   Can do that with TXEQ in the K3 and you don't waste money on another base 
mic.

   The MC60 can easily be made to sound the same. Bonus is it already has a PTT 
lock too and no extra cable from Heil at inflated prices.

       Good evening.  I have a K3 and really love it.  I am looking at 
purchasing a new microphone pretty soon.  I am currently using a Kenwood  MC-60 
and I get excellent reports on my modulation. But I have been reading alot 
about the Heil microphones and was wondering what Heil microphone would work 
good with my system.  I basically like to operate for DX though I do chat from 
time to time on some nets.  Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.  
Thanks!!!  Mark KB3Z
