If one has a flat "wide band" mic (electret) the typical TX EQ settings
needed to emulate the Heil HC4 (DX)/HC5 elements, a couple classic
"communications" mics and a typical dynamic "vocal" mic (SM58) are:

                                  -- SHURE --
           HC4     HC5    D-104   444    SM58
   50      -16     -16     -16    -16      -8
  100      -16     -16     -10    -16      -2
  200      -16      -3      -4     -7       0
  400       -4      -2      -3     -2      -1
  800       -0      -2      -1      0      -1
 1600       +5      +2      +3     +3      +0
 2400      +10      +5      +9     +7      +1
 3200      +10      +6     +13    +12      +4

Thanks to: <https://owenduffy.net/audio/legend/index.htm> for the
HC4/HC5/D-104/444 response curves.   The SM58 data comes from
Shure's data sheet.

As Bob K4TAX has pointed out and K9YC has long advocated, set the lower 2 bands of TX EQ to the lowest levels and set the 3rd band down a bit as well - that will increase your "talk power" while not wasting power trying to transmit those low frequencies which are not needed for intelligibility.  If you are into ESSB, you may differ, but ham radio is not HI-FI in my opinion, it is about communications effectiveness.
