I am a happy CM-500 user. Note that while you have any headset mic input connected thru the back panel, you can still use the hand held microphone push to talk switch. Until you get into voice operations in pileups, where you might want a foot switch, it will work well for you. (IMHO, VOX is too slow for anything but rag chewing.)

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.
