[Elecraft] Yamaha CM500 Headset and Heil Adaptor

[Wes (N7WS)]

Remove the adapter, plug in the headset to the rear connectors, select the 
MAIN:MIC SEL menu, press [1], press [2] and you're almost done. (Mic rear panel, 
Low Z, Bias On)

Now, you need to set the equalization.  I get unsolicited good audio reports 
with the following:

Band 1: -16
Band 2: -10
Band 3:  -4
Band 4:  0
Band 5:  0
Band 6:  0
Band 7:  0
Band 8: -6

You will have to tailor this to your voice and preference.
