The K2 is capable of quite high quality transmit audio, but it isn't as apparent with the electret microphones. Icom et al have made the break with electrets starting with their Pro II and later rigs. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The selection of a microphone type may take a little more care as it depends a lot on the tonal range of your voice to which type is suitable and more particularly so in the case of SSB. One type may be OK for one person yet may be useless for another. I struggled for many years to find a suitable microphone for SSB where there was no problem with 2m FM. Ended up with a varied selection of dynamic microphones from Shure, Kenwood, Yaesu and many other manufacturers. The type that finally worked was the old Adonis AM-303G electret microphone. However, when I tried to use the same type of electret microphone on 2m FM was firmly told what to do with it. Have yet to try the Heil dynamic microphones to see what the effect is with them. Have an old Heil desk microphone (HM-5?) which came from an S/K sale that had been modified to high impedance use. Will change it back to original configuration and see how that works out. The insert in this is the HC-3 which have been unable to find any info about. Did approach Bob Heil for details about the microphone and though he gave favourable comments for the microphone itself, was not forthcoming with any information or data about the HC-3 insert. Does anybody have any information about this Heil HC-3 insert?
