[Elecraft] YamahaCM-500 headset was Re: Background Noise with Mike Plugged in to Rear Mike Jack

[Pete Smith N4ZR]

I have had two cable failures, both happening inside the side with the 
microphone. While it's not initially obvious, you can pull the earpad 
back far enough to get at the three small screws that hold the back part 
of the headphone on.
