Good Evening,
Propagation is improving. Signals have gotten better over the last
month. Less background hiss with milder QSB. Parts of the country do
have a rapid flutter, which doesn't help. I copied the KB3 station as
KB3UDR and KB3FDR but little else.
More dog training,
Hmmm. I've used nothing but a CM500 since about 2008, and I've never
seen one with a dynamic mic. The data sheet for all of them has said it
was dynamic, but none of then were.

The Koss SB-40 apears to be the same headset as the Yamaha CM-500
but with a dynamic mic. The mic plug on my first CM-500 said “KOSS”,
so I’m pretty sure the only difference is the microphone.
I’ve heard complaints about the dynamic mic on the SB-40.
From my experience, some of the CM-500s have an electret mic and others a
dynamic mic. I don’t know if its an age factor.
I use mine with my YAESU FT-897 and with my Kenwood TS-480, don’t have the
adapter at this point to use with the KX3...Pretty good for an in-expensive
boom mic.

I tried a Koss SB-45 headset and hated it. It gets good reviews from hams and

an electret mic, but it was not comfortable at all. It sat on top of my ears
instead of
around my ears, plus it grabbed my head more tightly than the Yamaha CM-500.
Finally, the mic boom was not as easy to
Thanks Mike; VOX was the answer...

Any clues out there for me?

I bought a new CM-500 set on Amazon about two years ago. They feel great on my
head and work wonderfully.
In May I decided to try the Koss SB-45. Price was good (about $30 from Amazon).
They feel very similar to my Heil headset, meaning about the same as putting my
head in a vise. Simply too

Hi Bill,
The only issue I've ever had with the CM500 has been a bad cable, and
it's happened at least twice. I'm pretty
The boom mic on my CM-500 is now flopping around held only by
the signal wire.
Any ideas about how to reattach it?

Here is the list of stations checking in to the Sunday net. The nets take place
at 1800Z, 1900Z and at 0100Z. It is an hour earlier with the time change.
Thank you to the relay stations for their help.
Hope to hear you on one of the nets. Eric WB9JNZ

I’m looking for a basic K3-100, preferably factory built. (Not a deal breaker
though) No second RX is required nor is the ATU. The KXV3 option is required. I

I'm thinking about rearranging some of the 2m antenna cabling (sharing

how old is your power supply capacitor?
Check your voltage with a VOM at the PS terminal and at the internal K3
Volt meter.

Station is in Standby, just listening when suddenly the K3S just turns off. It
turns on afterwards normally. Linear Power Supply is working (30Amp) and is
still on. NO RF being generated.
Any ideas?
