If your shack is quiet, you probably wouldn't get much benefit
from the quiet phone, IMO. Where I noticed it to be most effective
was at field day, where it really took out the drone of the generators
that were a wee bit too close to our operating position for a while.
I've been told it can be quiet effective in multi-op contesting
environments too.
The other thing to be aware of is that the quiet phone is notoriously
susceptible to RFI when active - read the eham reviews...

BTW, I'm not locked down to the Quiet Phones. If someone thinks
the regular Proset phones are a better value, I'm completely open
to suggestions. These will be used exclusively in my shack which
is pretty quiet to begin with.
Thanks,

I'm thinking about swinging by HRO this afternoon to grab the Heil
Proset Quiet Phone for my K3. Assuming that I want to use the back
connectors for a cleaner installation, what additional adapters/cables
will I need to get this working? I'd prefer not to use VOX unless someone
can convince me otherwise. (I'm never used VOX before so I guess
I'm a little gun shy) Also, what element would you recommend? I'm
pretty much an exclusive DX operator.
Thanks,
