I understand tht Bob Heil's new ProSet has a switch on one ear unit for
that very purpose. Since the headset was designed almost exclusively for
contest operators - following their suggestions for improvements over the
old ProSet - evidently there is real advantage to being able to reverse the
phase of one ear unit compared to the other.

I need to try that with an old pair of phones to see how it sounds . . .
