[Elecraft] CM500 headset on K3S and KX3?

[Paul Gacek]

For what its worth and everyones milage will vary, I had a brand new CM500 that I used for a week of hard operating while on a pretty island and the boom came loose after a couple of days. Since then I have reliably used the Elecraft sold Heil Proset at home and other pretty islands. Ironically I bought the CM500 as I didn't want my Heil abused in transit or when operating away from home.

From memory no additional adapters are needed for use with the KX3 and I find it easier (but friends don’t) to use VOX.
