Sorry I was not specific. I thought that all Heil mics with X element would be the same. I am considering the Classic, which comes with a pro element and your choice of the HC-4, HC-5 and the IC element for ICOM. I am not too interested in the HC-4, as I understand that is for contesting, which I am not into right now. I am more interested in the HC-5, and would like people's opinion on how it compares to the IC element (when the HC-5 is used with a preamp.). I guess I would be more inclined to go with the HC-5 and build the preamp, because then I could use the pro too. If I get the IC element, I can't use the Pro element with out the preamp (well I guess if just build the element either way.) Has anybody built the preamp? Can you fit it inside the mic itself, or in the K2, or do you have to put it in a separate enclosure. Thanks for you kind answers to a newbie.
