[Elecraft] Boom Set

[Johnny Siu]

I concur with Jim and Don.  CM500 is not available in Hong Kong.  A pilot ham brought it to me when he flew to VR2.  Very value for money.

Hi Ricardo,
I have to agree 100 percent with Don.  I have a CM-500.  It was less expensive than the Heil and I have tried them both.  The CM-500 is more comfortable for me to wear for long periods than the Heil, David Clark or several other Boom sets I've either owned or borrowed over the years.  The microphone in the CM-500 seems to match my voice perfectly (the Heil and David Clark electret's did not) and I didn't have to mess with the K3's transmit equalizer at all.  I just left it set at zero's across the board.  Although I detest VOX and never use it, I did test the CM-500 with the K3's VOX and it worked flawlessly.

I also use Elecraft's MH2 hand microphone and it too matches my voice without further adjustment.
