[Elecraft] Headset/Mic Suggestions

[Don Wilhelm]

Bill,

Get a Yamaha CM-500.  It is not noise cancelling, but can plug directly 
into the K3 rear jacks.  Select the rear panel mic and turn on bias for it.

They are not noise cancelling, but the big cuffs cover the ears nicely 
and seal well.

As far as noise pickup in the microphone, use the TX Noise Gate in the K3.

I want to obtain a headset with an attached microphone to use with this radio just in case I may want to do some SSB work. I used to have a noise cancelling headset which I really liked because my shack is located in the laundry/utility room and it seems that the washer and/or dryer runs as often as the furnace does. The company that did make the noise cancelling headset no longer makes them so I am now trying to find out what other hams use or what is in the market place. I am especially interested in a noise cancelling headset with an attached microphone that sounds good on a K3.
