[Elecraft] Yamaha CM500 Headset is a WINNER (and a BARGAIN)

[Ron D'Eau Claire]

I've had excellent results from the little Radio Shack electret mike
cartridges too. They are spec'd flat from  about 50 Hz to 16KHz, so any
audio "shaping" happens external to the mike, usually in the rig. That's the
right place to do it.

And they only set you back a couple of dollars -

..I have another suggestion some might want to try.  My biggest concern with

most of these headsets is finding one that has really good earphones--they 
vary a lot.  If you find one you really like, and don't think the microphone

is good enough, you might try just replacing the cartridge with one from 
Radio Shack.  I've made several electret microphones, all of which got very 
good reports as to audio, using the Radio Shack cartridge.  There was 
unanimous agreement that they sounded better than the Heil Pro Set I have...
