[Elecraft] Amazon Shipping

[David Dunn]

I read with interest  the comments re headset - Koss, Yamaha etc    and
the  widely advertised Amazon  (free shipping etc)

Experimentally I  tried going through the actions of ordering a Koss 45
-and I have an Amazon account)
Surprise surprise,  I get the error message (we cannot ship to your
address)    As I am registered  both in England and Australia  with Amazon
addresses,   I tried both and get the same result.
Fortunately  on the relatively rare occasions when I use Fone,  It is with
a 20 pence electret insert home brew mic into my K3    rear socket and this
invariably  returns unsolicited reports of superb audio.
The works with exactly the same EQ settings I use for the bulky  MH2
Elecraft mic I (regretfully) purchased when I bought the K3.

I have also tried computer type headsets, which of course need the addition
of a PTT switch  and these work quite well too,   but not up the the 20
pence quality!
