[Elecraft] CM500 headset on K3S and KX3?

[Wes]

The failures I have are the ear pads disintegrate.  Someone said Koss pads could 
work but that hasn't been my experience. I've found some '500s at estate sales 
where I snap them up.  Currently the law firm where my fiance is employed is 
working from home and she's using a set on her computer to "attend" on-line 
meetings.  I guess I can add "IT Manager" to my resume, since I'm helping her 
with her connections.  I second the use of VOX.
