Telinga with MKH20

Dear Portadisc Savants,

I am considering using an MKH20 with the Telinga Parabolic dish and
connecting to my HHB MDP-500 Portadisc. However, I do not want to use the
external power supply (MZA14) for the MKH because it will not fit in the
Telinga handle and thus makes another external connection to worry about.
Anyhow, I have some questions pertaining to this decision:

1. The Portadisc has phantom power capabilities and I assume that this shou=
ld
work with the MKH20 so that I would not have to use the external power
supply. Is this correct?

2. Also, for my purposes, I find the HHB is slightly underpowered even when=
 I
record in stereo. I did send the machine to the factory and they increased=

the gain as much as possible, but for me, it is still underpowered. Will th=
e
Telinga with the MKH20 using the Portadiscs phantom power give me any bette=
r
gain than I get with the ME66-67 I am currently using with the K6 power
supply?

3. If I use a Sennheiser ME62 with the K6 power supply with the Telinga wil=
l
this give me more gain than if I was using an ME66 or 7 without the Telinga=
?

Thanks again for all the help.
