[SCCC] CM500 Headset

[Dan Violette]

Of course, Heil is very good with replacement parts (and even one price repair/replace parts service).  So, if you like your Pro-set, look into that.  Dan KI6X

After the Yamaha CM500 fell apart and I had to attach the left earpiece to the headband with electrical tape I upgraded to Heil PSE6 and never looked back.  The microphone is fantastic.  Works great with my Yaesu FTDX 3000. Vadim W6MX

manufactured. I see on Amazon a seller has a few but apparently they don't come with the inline battery thing that is required for an electret. My 101MP does not have the settings that the Elecraft has to go to an electret mic. Yes, apparently I could build a cable and pluck 5 volts off the mic connector but I'm lazy. Not sure if I want to do that. Might though. I know you guys love your CM500s. 

Anyone have experience with the Inrad W1 or the Heil PSE-6 Pro-set Elite?  I have an older Pro-set Plus and have really liked it over the years. It seemed like the speakers in it were getting tinny and lower output when I used that headset during CQWW CW.

In an earlier thread, several of you said you were using the Yamaha CM500 headset. I see that has an electret mic. What are you using to power it?
Plucking it from your radio? Did you have to wire a special cable?
