Same here. I bought a few different headsets and compared them to each other and to my MH2 Elecraft hand mic, both via on the air reports and by listening on another rig in the shack. Amazingly, the cheapest headset (URL below) of all of them worked best. Great audio reports (I often have p

[snip] I use the Proset 5 (HC-5 element) with good results and comments. Even though I normally use hearing aids when out in the world (but not when hamming) I find that Audio Gain set to Lo is fine for me. I also use the Heil HM-5 when not wearing the headset. I'm told that audio sounds gre
