I found the Koss SB40 to be the exact same product (less the bias battery pack) as the Yamaha CM500. At only $29.00 each, it is quite a deal, especially at half the price. FYI. The bias battery pack is needed for some radios, but not the K3.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00005ML7T/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8 <https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00005ML7T/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1> &psc=1 I received a report that there was a volume difference between different types of headsets plugged into the same radio via the Y-adapter. Most likely the cheap headsets were less sensitive than the better ones, but I don’t know the specifics. Hopefully we can find those headsets that I purchased for the club several years ago. If not, we’ll need to purchase some more, which could be split up between the clubs. I would like to see two headsets at each radio, for mentors and the less experienced ops to each use. Perhaps we wouldn’t need them at the digi radios, though. The Koss and Yamaha units above are also far more comfortable than the cheap ones I bought. If each club bought two sets, that would cover all CW and SSB positions, since some people will bring their own. We do need to post a rule, though, that headsets must remain at each radio position.
