{Collins} Collins KWM-2 MIC GAIN settings. asnd being rude to mike elements

["Ted Hartson" <awombat@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I vote for 12 o clock as being OK but a lot. Purists plug your ears; to 
determine low Z high Z elements:  The DC resistance depends so much on the 
size of the wire but GENERALLY 150 to downward a as little as 15 Ohms is a 
low impedance element and a high Z element will be in the range of 1000 Ohms 
or so., I have heard all the stories about magnetizing and killing elements 
but I am yet to see this, in the modern world. I would use a modern DVM and 
NOT a say a Radio Cities Products that is as old as you are with a 1 Ma. 
meter movement....  Ted WA8ULG
