I got a few direct emails saying the same thing. I know that you can still purchase the CM500, it just seems to be a lot rarer than it once was. A lot of places like B&H show the Yamaha CM500 out of stock or no longer available. Even Yamaha USA shows the item out of stock. One Amazon seller lists it for $109.95 + $19.95 shipping and they have a poor delivery rating. Another Amazon seller has only 1 product review and it is not available with Prime.

Is the Yamaha CM500 still being manufactured? John KK9A Rick NK7I wrote: They're nothing special; you can dial in equalization just as well in the K3S. I bought the Heil with my K3 and quickly gave up on them. The Yamaha CM500 plugs into the rear (with bias) and the headphones are comfy for hours, without spending a lot (by comparison, you can get a few for the cost of one Heil). They block most of the noise in my shack. I keep a couple spares as the foam covers do wear out. If you need to block of lot of shack noise, there are other options, most are expensive. A search of the archives is recommended, this topic has been covered many times before. 73, Rick nk7i __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to k...@comcast.net __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to edhop...@yahoo.com __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com

It’s perfect for pedestrian mobile and should you encounter some sort of snag it’ll pop out before the wire breaks.Wayne can better comment than me,but I believe the resonance of the AX1 (or AX2 I presume) it’s not right within the 20M band, but close. The auto tuner easily takes care of matching and as Wayne mentioned earlier compensates for all of the other variables. Just a note that the AX2 is a single band coil and can be modified for different bands. Plus it’s even a lot lower profile than the AX1. If you want to see some fun videos of using the AX1 directly attached to the KX2 search on YouTube for HB9BZG-SOTA from the Swiss Alps! >> >> >> >> -- >> This email has been checked for viruses by AVG antivirus software. >> www.avg.com >> __ >> Elecraft mailing list >> Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft >> Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm >> Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net >> >> This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this >> email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to >> n...@elecraft.com > __ > Elecraft mailing list > Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft > Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm > Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net > > This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email > list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to > h...@optilink.us __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to edhop...@yahoo.com __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
