[Elecraft] ProSet-K2 Boom Headset

[Mark J. Schreiner]

I don't know the difference for the K2 version, but I use the ProSet 
Plus with  adapter for Kenwood microphone as my K2 is wired for Kenwood 
type configuration.  I've used it for ARRL FD contest as the SSB station 
at our FD site during the last two years and we've done quite well.  
I've used it at home for ARRL November Sweepstakes two years ago and did 
well but last year I had a terrible cold so didn't do so well.  I used 
it last year for the PA QSO Party and got 1st place  for Lehigh County 
overall (I think the 2x multiplier helped me beat out the 100W & 1KW 
stations that didn't get the 2x multiplier, HI HI).  All examples above 
are for QRP only.  I generally use CW otherwise but when I have had 
ragchews it works well.  It is a very comfortable heaset and I like the 
ability to switch the phase which I do several times during a contest 
which seems to reduce the amount of fatigue compared to using my hi-fi 
stereo headphones. 

I did change R14 from 1k to 10k on the SSB board to get a bit more gain 
but otherwise used the headset and K2 as is.  I would recommend it to K2 
users as well as users of other radios from a performance and comfort 
standpoint.
