[CQ-Contest] Headsets w/ mic's

[rin JG1VGX]

I bought Yamaha CM-500 recently and posted a negative comment on eham
review, mainly for its apparently weak construction.

However, I now admit it's ok for its price. It did good in a recent
SSB contest I tested and mine is not fallen apart yet ;) as I handle
it carefully. If you throw it around like toys in multiop settings,
well, I don't know.

It's mic gain is much less than a Heil for that I need a preamp. And
it needs to be phantom powered as it's got a condenser mic.
