Heil HM-5™ "Handi Mic" for the FLEX-3000

Finally the hollow, clamshell sound from other communication microphones is gone with the Handi Mic and it is only 4" tall!

For years, Bob Heil has been working on eliminating the hollow, clamshell sounds of the hand microphone. There is no argument, when you place a high quality microphone element inside a shell; the end result sounds like you are talking from the bottom of a barrel!

HeilSound designed a very special open sorbothane shock mount that puts the various Heil microphone elements in the open, not encased in a shell. This results in the cleanest, clearest and most articulate hand microphone - EVER! The low handling noise and exceptional cardioid pattern makes the Handi Mic ideal for mobile or portable use.

The PTT button is ergonomically located at the top of the HM-5 body for effortless keying of your transceiver.

The HM-5 Handi Mic contains the full-range communication HC-5 element which is perfect for "rag chewing". Engineered with a frequency response designed for a fuller range of articulate voice clarity. Not mushy, bassy, paging type audio, but clear, easy to understand SSB audio. This element actually places a +6dB rise @ 2KHz (a frequency the human ear is highly responsive to).

Heil HC-5 Element Specifications
Microphone ElementDynamic.  Copper wound bobbin with moving coil transducer
Frequency Response300 to 8,000 Hz (6dB rise @ 2,000 Hz)
Impedance 600 ohms @ 1,000 Hz
Sensitivity-68 dB (nominal)

Note: When ordering, make sure you select the proper cable for the FLEX-3000 since it uses a 8-pin RJ-45 connector rather than the 8-pin Foster connector.

Array Solutions PowerMaster Station Monitor

The Array Solutions PowerMaster Station Monitor is a multi-function highly accurate watt meter that is loaded with features and control capabilities that will compliment any ham shack.  In addition to performing basic VSWR and peak reading watt meter functions, the PowerMaster has the capability to be interfaces with the shack computer using the PowerMaster PRO software and automatically shut down power amplifiers if user definable VSWR or wattage thresholds are exceeded.  For more information, you can read the technical review that was in the January edition of QST.   Below are some of the features of the Array Solutions PowerMaster station Monitor.

Features
  • Measures RF power and VSWR with an accuracy typically better than +/- 3% over frequency and temperature ranges.
  • Peak Hold Modes – programmable for fast (1/2 sec), medium, slow, and Long ( 5 sec) to match your operating mode - CW, SSB, data, FM, whatever your sending!
  • Eight (8) effective sampling circuits with auto-ranging software allows it to sample with 12 bit A/D resolution.
  • Separate Display and Coupler/Sensor boxes. Sensor can be remotely located at your amp. No RF cables on top of your desk or radio to cause RFI and other clutter issues!
  • Displays VSWR, RF Power Nunerical and Bar graph at the same time.
