[Elecraft] Headset/Mic Suggestions

[Bill Frantz]

I am a happy CM-500 user. Note that while you have any headset 
mic input connected thru the back panel, you can still use the 
hand held microphone push to talk switch. Until you get into 
voice operations in pileups, where you might want a foot switch, 
it will work well for you. (IMHO, VOX is too slow for anything 
but rag chewing.)
