Fun with CM 500 headset

[Tom Field]

I just finished installing the Yamaha CM 500 headset for SSB in my newly
constructed K2. Using VOX, I find the microphone is so sensitive that it
switches to transmit based on the very quiet sound levels in the room. If I
switch the Vox delay from .1 to .4 sec, and hold the microphone completely
enclosed in my hand, I can (mostly) block VOX activation. Is there a way to
decrease Vox sensitivity so I will only trigger transmit when speaking.
Have yet to make SSB contact.

Tom :

I also recently picked up a Yamaha CM500 for use with my Flex-1500.
I still have to build an adaptor cable for the Mic, but I have been using it
just as headphones for now.  I really like the sound, and they are very well
made.

Overall a very good purchase at $US60.

P.S. I am interested in what you find out, as I may also decide to make an adaptor cable
to use them with my K2 as well.
