My experience has been the same: the Heil Proset with HC5 sounds good, 
but it's output is insufficient to comfortably and smoothly drive the 
vox circuit. I ultimately went with the TT705 desk mic which has plenty 
of output to easily drive the vox circuit while garnering good audio 
quality reports from others.
