Eric,
I've used the Heil Pro Set with the HC-5 for some years now, and have received
many unsolicited raves about my audio. The HC-5 is NOT a "full-range" (flat)
element. It is expertly tailored for voice frequencies, but is not as highly
constricted as the HC-4. It is very enjoyable to listen to, yet still has
plenty of punch when used with an appropriate amount of compression.
After listening to a number of HC-4s on the air, I concluded that although
they do punch through the QRM very well, they're just too ugly-sounding to put
up with. :-) So I'm sticking with the HC-5. Any desired tweaks can be made
with the K3 TX equalization, bu for my money,the HC-5 sounds just great the
way it is.

Hi Geoff --
We used Heil HC-5 mic elements (the so-called "full range" element,
not the "DX operation" element). Mic gain and compression were both
set at 15.
A few operators were caught fidgeting with the mic/compression
settings, but we tried to discourage changes to these settings.

Re VP6DX - they do sound good. Anyone know what mics and settings
they are using?
