Hmmmm....i think Jim and Joe nailed it with regard to Mic (sound) and associated cost.
Heil do nothing for me. The price turns me off and as others have stated the K3 EQ is there to allow us all to use a sensibly priced Mic with good quality resultant audio which is what we all want. (Thats an assumption on my part ok) I won't rant about the WI2HY. I will say i have yet to hear a station using this type of audio that was adjusted to give good audio. My ears are c#@p but a wide signal is still a wide signal and awful audio is still awful. Piercing audio may cut through, but ripping off my headset when they call sends me to the coffee machine and medicine drawer. It does not get a reply from me. I use a CM-500 and an MH2 and sometimes an old Turner +3. Never had any complaints and I was born with a less than a DJ quality pitch. Oh well, thems the breaks eh? Just my 2 Drachmas worth...:-) Gary Vk1ZZ K3, KPA500-FT, KAT500-FT On 06/07/2015 11:01 AM, "ke9uw" <c-haw...@illinois.edu> wrote: > Interesting...I felt this from the days of the shootouts, but stayed > somewhat quiet back then.
