[Elecraft] Computer type headsets with the K3

[Doug Person]

On my last order to my favorite computer parts vendor I added an 
inexpensive ($9.00) computer-type headset with mic.  These turned out to 
be somewhat cheaply made - but not bad, with good sound quality and are 
reasonably comfortable.  I plugged them into the K3, set the appropriate 
parameters and they work like a charm.  Earphones and mic plugs both 
just plug into the jacks in the back.  You setup vox gain and antivox, 
turn the bias on, adjust your mic gain and you're ready to go.  A great 
setup for a very minimal investment.  Audio reports are good and its 
easy to tweak and balance the sound of the mic.  I pulled down the bass 
and high-end treble and added extra gain in the upper midrange.  And the 
vox works great - better than any other radio I've tried.
