Does anyone have any experience using the Yamaha CM500 headset with the
K2? Thanks for comments.

It should work quite well. The K2 is a bit low on audio gain, and the
CM500 is a very hot mic, which compensates nicely.  You will need to
make a simple cable adapter (female 1/8-in jack to a mic connector that
fits the K2), and you need a 5.6K resistor between +8V on the K2 mic
jack and the mic input. Find a tiny resistor (1/10 watt) and it will fit
in the connector that plugs into the K2.

Not me but a friend has one for his K2.  He is happy, as VOX now works.  It  
wouldn't with Heil.
