Good Mic bad Base Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
Got my PR-10 for Christmas. I was super excited, this is the nicest mic I've ever owned. 3 months later the desk stand PTT stopped working. Appears that the 3.5mm receptacle on the back of the stand has developed a loose connection. The mic was moved almost none. it just sat on the corner of my desk while in use. Not exactly the quality I was expecting from Heil. The mic still works perfectly. However if I had known the PTT was going to fail this soon I would have bought a mic/boom/foot switch package. The desk base retails for about $100. That's almost the same cost as a Heil HB-1 articulating boom ($75) and the Heil FS-3 foot switch ($35). I feel certain that Heil will make it right, but definitely a headache.

Wowser Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
Made some solid contacts on 40m's this morning with the Pro10. I must say, all reports received stating the audio sounded great. What a load off my mind. The Mic isn't cheap and then again if you want quality you have to breakdown and spend the extra dollars. The Mic is being used on a Kenwood TS-50. There is nothing cheap here with this microphone. Craftsmanship is outstanding, cables are of excellent quality and then some and the Microphone is top notch. I am extremely happy with my choice in purchasing this device and would highly recommend to everyone who is sitting on the fence and are not sure of purchasing. I am sure that this mic will give me many years of enjoyment with this radio and any other radio I buy in the near future. KUDOS HEIL!

THE HEIL PR-10 IS A GREAT MIC! Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
The Heil PR-10 is a truly excellent Mincrophone.

I'm using this Mic with an Alinco DX-SR8, which shares the same pin out as the 8 pin Kenwood radios.

Audio reports have been excellent with this Mic, with just the right amount of highs and lows with a nice little "punch" to the audio.

I've been in touch with Bob Heil regarding this new Mic and he has been just a pleasure to talk with.

I also plan to pick up, both, the Heil hand and foot switch to use with this great Mic.

If you are currently using the Alinco Desk Mic for the the DX-SR8, in my opinion, the new Heil PR-10 is a fantastic upgrade for this radio.

Well done,Bob and thanks for getting this wonderful Microphone out for all of us to enjoy!

Great Audio Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
I moved the mike to a scissor boom mount that's mounted on the left end of my ham table. I can swing out the boom anytime I need the mike.

I get some nice audio reports using this mike with my 590SG radio. I have the radio transmit equalizer set to HB2 for user.

Fine audio Time Owned: 3 to 6 months.
I use this microphone with a Yaesu FTdx 1200 transceiver. I have set the parametric equalizer close to the recommended settings in the Heil paper "All things Yaesu." I have had nothing but positive reports on my audio.

Thumbs Up Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
I would highly recommend this mic. I have had mine for the last two weeks, and have had nothing but good audio reports. My PR-10 is connected straight to a FT-950 using the built in Parametric EQ.

update Time Owned: 6 to 12 months.
Sold the ICOM 756 Pro III and picked up an ICOM IC-7800. The Heil PR-10 is great on this radio.
Nothing but complementary reports on my audio.

Great Micrphone Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
So far this has been a great microphone. I have it wired to a KX3 and was easy to do. Audio reports have been positive! Would recommend!

Great mike. Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
This mike looks great and gets good audio reports so far. Base lights up when xmit if you want and PTT is very handy for me. Mine is hooked up to a Kenwood TS-570D and is replacing the hand held mike that came with the radio. Looks like a smaller PR-781.
