I've always viewed Heil products as vastly overpriced (like 5X) for
what they are. Several years ago at a hamfest, I bought four
different models of Plantronics headsets (earphone plus mic)
designed for use with cellphones. I paid about $5 each; they sell in
stores for about $20-$25. They are quite compact.
I made adapters to connect them to several of my radios, and they
work quite well -- very good audio reports on SSB, punchy, etc. I
suggest that you do the same. All it takes is a properly wired plug,
including a resistor to the mic to provide DC bias and a load.
I also made an adapter to connect them to my computer's audio card
for use on Echolink and VOIP, and they work fine in that application
too.
