[Elecraft] Lightweight headset/mic solution for KX3?

[Wayne Burdick]

I've used the iPhone headset, but it does require an adapter. So far I haven't found an adapter that I like; they seem to be fragile or have a too-loose connection.

What I'm hoping to find is something like the iPhone headset but with two plugs (one for the headphone jack, one for the mic jack). The Logitech H165 fits the requirements but is very expensive.

The H165 has two 3.5-mm stereo plugs -- one for the headphone jack, one for the mic jack -- some noise filtering, and a mute switch. It would appear to be ideal for this application.
