First, understand, I don't operate SSB much, and not familiar with idiosyncracies of mics. I don't understand the need for bias, etc...
Trying to establish the K3 and a mic. The MH2 works just fine off the K3 front panel jack. It seems to want FP.Lo with BIAS. I have run a mic line to the back of the radio. I found in the menu the selection, rP and switched to it. An old Electrovoice desk mic requires rP.Hi but works, proving the rear panel jack, menu settings, and the new line. I have a very old Heil headset and boom mic with an HC4 element. Plugged into this line I can not get the radio to respond to the HC4. I can run through the VOX settings to maximum sensitivity, I can try Hi or Lo, ... nothing. I put a DMM across the mic, it reads inconsistent, don't know what it should read, and also find that the Electrovoice reads open, so i guess not going to see anything that way. Do I need to do something special to make the Heil HC4 respond? Is there a way i can prove the HC4 is functioning properly? 73, Fred - kt5x _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
