[Elecraft] Choosing headset

[dj7mgq at muenchen-mail.de]

At our local club and among many of the members of the BCC aviation headsets are
fairly popular. The headsets we have in use locally are the PA11-60 and PA11-61
<http://www.pilot-usa.com/pa1161a.htm>.

Advantages:

1) Bandwidth limited to voice frequencies.
2) Microphone can be placed very close to mouth.
3) Microphone not very sensitive to surrounding noise.
4) High level of surrounding noise attenuation.

Disadvantages:

1) Weight.
2) Tend to put a fair amount of pressure on the ears.
3) Not very useful for listening to music.
4) Cost (from c. $100 up to ????)
