I recently got a Heil Pro7. In general it seems to do a really good job with many positive reports.
In a number of DX contacts the DX station responds to me as K2GC rather than the correct K3GC. This happens in roughly 1/3 of the DX contacts. I often have to repeat my call 3 or 4 times before I get a correct response. The radio which I don't think is part of the problem is a 6300.
About 8 months ago I sold most of my equipment in a fit of pique (big mistake). Previously I had a 6500 and the mic was a radiosport RS60CF. With that setup I never had a problem with audio response.
I have repeatedly recorded my voice and played it back and it sounds perfect to me. Furthermore I have not experienced this with any station whose operator is a native English speaker.
I NEVER experienced this problem with my previous station (native English speaker or not). I have had problems with Heil products in the past but I got a great deal on the Pro7 and it is well reviewed. Hmmmmmmm
I am on the verge of selling the Pro 7 and getting another RS60 but that is an expensive solution.
Anybody had a close experience to this?
Thanks,
