Since you're replacing a headset look for the Yamaha CM-500. They're generally $60 or so at places like B&H Photovideo, Sweetwater, Amazon, etc. They are more comfortable than the old Heil Proset and half the price. If you watch for sales they're even less (I replaced a ProSet with two CM-500 for less than what Heil wanted for the current ProSet) The mic works very well with the K3 ... set the bottom two TX EQ bands to -16 and the top three to +3, +5, +6 (a rising 3 dB/octave above 800 Hz). I adjust the mic gain for 5 bars and run CMP between 15 an 20 dB. The audio sounds good according to reports and there is plenty of "talk power." 73, ... Joe, W4TV

But then, I better ask first. The symptoms are that is I don't appear have any punch. I use cmp and mic and get the ALC bars in the right places according to the manual. I have adjusted TXG up to 3. Still, when I am transmitting SSB, the output is barely indicating 10% of (A) a HARD whistle pr (B) CW And I have mic at 60 and cmp at 40. What is a "Great" desk mike for the K3? Anyway, I am tired of the boom mic so wanted a desk mic and this may be a good reason. thanks
