I agree, Brenden. You will find the same advice re inexpensive headsets and ham gear in that RFI tutorial, the link to which I posted yesterday. That tutorial includes generic instructions on how to connect them to your radio. Several years ago, I bought four different models of Plantronics headsets at a hamfest near Chicago. I put connectors on them and then made adapters for my ham gear and computer sound cards. All four worked well with all the gear.
I paid $20 for the lot of them. Headsets like this sell new for about $25 in the US. You can simply buy the one that fits your ear/head most comfortably. 73, Jim K9YC , On Wed, 21 May 2008 09:12:56 +0100, Brendan Minish wrote: >I have had great results with the cheapest condenser mics I can find on >the K3 >http://ei6iz.com/ >I have also had similar good results with a 'desk' mic that came free >with a gateway PC about 10 years ago. >The k3 supports a very wide range of microphone types so I would suggest >trying what you have to hand first. >Those cheap computer mics use the same electret condenser elements that >the 'brand name' ham manufacturers use _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
