[Elecraft] mic - David Clark

[Wes Stewart]

I have and have used a David Clark H10-30 headset on my TS870.  The microphone 
element is an amplified dynamic.  I don't recall what the original mic connector 
was; I cut if off and used the Kenwood standard 8-pin.  The headphones use a 
standard 1/4" mono plug.  I always got good audio reports but then I was using a 
TS870.

I have some documentation around here some place but I can say a gentleman at 
David Clark was very helpful and sent me plenty of information.

The main problem for me was that the phones really clamp your head and they're 
pretty heavy, which can get tiring.
