Because it keeps the tangle of wires to a minimum given the way I have things laid out. Also, I usually only use the CM-500 mic for the Kansas QSO Party in August each year. Otherwise I am using an MC-60 desk mic. For 363 days it would be in the way! ;-) When not in use the headphones are laid off to the side and the wire is coiled up with them. Forunately, my hearing is still good enough that I don't need them often as a pair of external speakers work well for me although I do prefer the 'phones when operating CW. 73, de Nate >> -- "The optimist proclaims that we live in the best of all possible worlds.
