[Elecraft] Headset/Mic Suggestions

[George Kidder]

Hi Bill,

I have used a computer headset with my K3 for many years.  It seems to 
be a noise-cancelling variety - at least it has the set of noise holes 
in the back of the microphone case.  Very light weight, but does not 
exclude room noise on receive - which for me is good, since I can hear 
the XYL over it!  Just plug into the back of the rig, set rig for rear 
input and bias, and you're off.

I don't remember where I got the headset, but it certainly was not 
expensive.  Maybe $10 at the time.

George, W3HBM

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.
