Sarge,

I'm sure any of the available mikes from Heil will be good. I prefer the HC-5 element for SSB. Depending on what you buy, you can spend alot(with all the available accessories) or also be economical. I chose to modify my D-104 desk mike by removing its element and replacing it with an HC-5 element. The modification was pretty straight forward and I am very pleased with the results.

Hope this helps!

I use a Heil Goldline HC-5, I have had great reports. The mic has a key switch and a toggle switch.

I use the PR-20 with the EQplus and 8 Band EQ fro W2IHY. Nothing but great reports

I use the Heil GM-5 Goldline which gives you a choice of the
narrow or wide element. Great sounding audio when used with
the W2IHY Audio Equalizer.

Only suggestion is do NOT get the '4' element unless you really know why you are buying it.

It's extremely sharp, only good for contesting and pileups. Otherwise it will drive people crazy and they won't want to talk to you ;-).

For a relatively cheap and flexible way in, I really like my Heil Traveler and having pigtails to use it on a bunch of radios is handy too.
