[Flexradio] Heil Headset and FLEX-5000

My Heil headset has two plugs on the end of its cable: One is a black 1/4 stereo phono plug for the headphones, and I see where to plug that into the PHONES jack on the front of the radio, so no problem there. The second is a gray 1/8 mono plug for the mike, and I DON'T see where to plug that

The gray is the mic connector. You can build an adapter for about $10 if you have to buy all the parts or less if you have a parts box. If you plan to use a footswitch just us the mic line on the 8 pin plug and then use the ptt on the back of the Flex. -Original Message- From:

If a computer fan, which are not that loud, bugs you, then FLEX-3000 when transmitting will also bug you. I mitigated the problem by putting the FLEX-3000 underneath the operating desk at the far end from where my mic is located. Be careful about putting it in an acoustic enclosure since the
