[Yaesu] FT-1000D & Heil Headsets Questions

[Larry Menzel]

I also am using the HC5 with my 1000D and get excellent audio reports 
with it.  I converted a pair of Otimus headphones from Radio Shack
(mentioned a few months ago here if my memory serves) which are 
simply wonderful, especially for CW.  The frequency response is just
great.  They were on sale for about $50 and may still be available.

I bought the HC5 element and modified the clam shell of the boom set
to accomodate the square Heil element, and reassembled it.  Viola,
a headset that works great and cost about 1/2 of what Heil gets for
theirs.

Good luch.
