Hector, I too love my CM-500 but then I set the RX EQ to suit and I don't have a 'collection' of headsets...certainly would not waste money on Heil gear...too rich for my blood and they are not real robust.
Also found with the Heil stuff you have to do some serious adjustment on the TX EQ which would make microphone changes cumbersome. I have settings now that enable me to use an old Turner +3 on the front panel and CM-500 on the rear. I am told there is little to no difference in audio from those who know my rather terrible voice. I was not blessed with broadcast quality vocal chords...:-) Now my XYL (this is strange) has a great voice for HF and everyone who chats with her comments on the audio and tell her she sounds better than the OM...:-(...now that does suck!!! The settings you sent me way back when Hector work great for me, well done with your testing back in the early days..My CM-500 is a definite keeper. Thanks again Hector for your posts on the reflector, always fun to read and I often learn just a little bit more. 73's Gary & Jennie (VK4JLG) On Tue, Jan 11, 2011 at 1:26 PM, Hector Padron <ad4c2...@yahoo.com> wrote: > Ok,then because you don't like and I love it,do you want to sell it to me ? > > AD4C > > > > "If freedom means something,it is the right to tell others what they don't > want to hear" –George Orwell > > --- On Mon, 1/10/11, ab2tc <ab...@arrl.net> wrote: > > > From: ab2tc <ab...@arrl.net> > Subject: Re: [Elecraft] RES: Yamaha CM500 > To: elecraft@mailman.qth.net > Date: Monday, January 10, 2011, 8:38 PM > > > > Hello again, > > I am not talking about anything above 2700Hz at all.
