[Elecraft] OT - Jawbone, Noise Cancellation, Bluetooth & Ham Radio

[Dave Andrus]

Randy, K7AGE, has a good YouTube video about how to do this.  I've got  
the BlueParrot headset and the audio interface also, but haven't had  
time to try them out.  I ordered both pieces that Randy's video  
recommends, and both have fairly easy credit-card ordering from their  
websites.

The headset took about 6 weeks to receive after I ordered it, but  
hopefully the company is back to current stock again.  Main advantage,  
as pointed out in the video, is that this headset brings the mike tube  
out close to the side of your mouth.

FYI, besides the Jabra piece, I've also found similar devices with  
submini plugs from Logitech and Motorola at local big-box home  
entertainment stores like Best Buy.  Both look like they could be used  
instead of the Jabra unit.  YMMV.
