This may  have been dealt with already.

My understanding is that the TenTec factory mic is an electret with a
preamp built in.  (I'm not sure about the mobile mic offering)  The Heil
set up is dynamic with no preamp.

The audio reports from both the HC-5 and HC-4 are excellent, but the major
gripe appears to be the lack of output to operate the vox.

Heil offers a preamp unit for Icom to deal with the lack of output, as the
Icom mics operate with a built in preamp.

I've heard mixed reports on adapting the Icom preamp unit for the TenTec.

Should we start bugging Bob Heil, and see if a "TenTec preamp" should be
offered?
