Never had a problem John getting full rated PEP output from K2/100 #3255 using the HC-4 and HC-5 elements in the Heil ProSet Plus headset without an external preamp, but I don't use the K2/100's VOX. If I used VOX a little more audio gain would be required in the VOX circuit, but additional audio gain between the mic elements and modulator would result in overdrive. Perhaps my K2/100 is a positive tolerance version.

John and Charles:
The Heil Prosets with the HC-4 or HC-5 elements don't have quite enough output to drive the K2 without either an external preamp or tweaking of the K2's internal circuitry. The version with the electret element seems to work better with the K2. I believe the Heil K2 Proset is essentially the version with the electret element, but I'm not 100% certain on that matter.

All Prosets require an adapter to match your particular mic jack configuration, so that is not a factor.

No idea about the K3.
