Just curious ... I inherited a David Clark noise cancelling aviation
headset/mic from a neighbor who was a US Forest Service pilot. I've
never tried it, the connector is strange. I'm not even sure I know
where it is right now. Will it work with my K3 if I can find it and get
the connector compatible? I know they're expensive.
Maybe it will cancel the powerline noise on 80? [:-))

Although headsets like my Heil Pro 7 may be more money, am I really
"wasting" money on buying a "fancy brand name" considering the
unit consists of mic and incredible speakers?
Yes, at about $250 retail (plus adapter cable), the Pro 7 is more than
five times as expensive as the Yamaha CM-500 (electret mic), Koss SB40
(dynamic mic) or SB45 (electret mic) headsets. Both the Yamaha and
Koss headsets have outstanding 120 Ohm headset drivers with sensitivity
rated at 96dB/mW and microphones well tailored for voice work. Heil
does not even publish the impedance or sensitivity for their headset
drivers!
For the price of a Heil Pro 7 one could get a Broadcast headset like
the Audio Technica BPHS1 ($199), Sennheiser HMD280 ($249) or Shure
BRH440M ($249) - all of which are significantly higher quality than
the Pro7 (and field proven).
