Thanks to all who replied...just a quick followup.
Most who were successfully using both HC-4 and HC-5
were using much higher MIC settings than I had been
using. I tried adjusting MIC as the new manual suggests
on page 41and found both Heil elements required much
more gain (30-60) than I had been using before. I then
adjusted SP for reasonable compression and found it
was much lower (3-4) than I had been using previously.
Hopefully Scott W4PA will add suggested settings
for both the HC-4 and HC-5 to the table on page 42 since
these are such popular elements.

P.S. The following settings from Larry W6UB were especially
helpful in getting me on the right track:
"Maybe some help here. I use the Heil Pro-Set Plus that has both the HC-4
and the HC-5 elements. W4NL also uses the same Heil with his Orion. In
several on-going schedules with local and west coast friends, we both found
the HC-5 sounds very good to our listeners with the MIKE gain at 35, SP at
4, and TX Eq at -3dB. The Orion TX filter BW is set at 2550 Hz and the LF
rolloff at 150 Hz."
