I was under the impression that the K3 was wired the same as Kenwoods for microphone usage. However, In checking the Heil website, and the subsequent link for mike connections, they show that pin 5 is 8 V., whereas the K3 manual shows that pin 6 should have 8 V. Actually the website for Heil doesn't really show how the various adapters (I.E. for the Heil Traveler) are wired. It only links you to the website of G4WPW for a description of various pinouts for various rigs. What's the deal?

Also, the K3 manual specifies a low impedence mike (600 ohms +/-). Nothing on the Heil website that I have found actually discusses what the impedence is for mikes like the Heil Traveler or Pro Set.

I'm also curious why my Heil Pro Set headphones seem to have low output compared to other headphones on various rigs that I own. Anybody know what the impedence is for the headphones?

Can you explain the note that says "!!Must be used with MH2
MG2 or Proset-K2?"

It means that the cables (and microHAM interfaces for Elecraft)
must be used with radios and microphones wired according to the
"Kenwood" standard.  The original K2 had programmable mic jumpers
and the Elecraft cable sets would only work when the mic/radio
were wired for the MH2, MG2 or Proset-K2.

The K3 is "hard wired" for Kenwood style mics - the considerations
are the same.  OEM microphones (MH2, Proset-k2) or identically
wired microphones must be used with the microham interfaces.

Joe -

Does this mean I can not use it with the Heil Goldline with
the dual elements?
