Hi Bill,

I have used a computer headset with my K3 for many years. It seems to be a noise-cancelling variety - at least it has the set of noise holes in the back of the microphone case. Very light weight, but does not exclude room noise on receive - which for me is good, since I can hear the XYL over it! Just plug into the back of the rig, set rig for rear input and bias, and you're off.

I don't remember where I got the headset, but it certainly was not expensive. Maybe $10 at the time.

Since I seldom use SSB I have not had the need to ask this question and I 
realize the responses may vary as much as belly buttons. I have a K3 and I also 
have the hand held microphone. I want to obtain a headset with an attached 
microphone to use with this radio just in case I may want to do some SSB work. 
I used to have a noise cancelling headset which I really liked because my shack 
is located in the laundry/utility room and it seems that the washer and/or 
dryer runs as often as the furnace does. The company that did make the noise 
cancelling headset no longer makes them so I am now trying to find out what 
other hams use or what is in the market place. I am especially interested in a 
noise cancelling headset with an attached microphone that sounds good on a K3.

Thank you Bill AD8P
