[Milsurplus] Another headset question

[WA5CAB at cs.com]

That's an HS-23.  The headband and cordage is the HB-7.  You'll find the 
nomenclature on a metal band wound around the cord (unless some DA has removed 
it).  Cushions originally supplied were MC-162's, later (smaller and less 
confortable) were MX-41/AR.  Headset requires either CD-307 or one of the chest sets 
for useage.
