K3: Use of David Clarke Headsets

[NK7Z]

Hi,

Has anyone interfaced a set of DC H7030 headsets to a K3?  If so, what
were the results?  Did they work, how did they sound on receive and
transmit?  I have inherited a set, and am considering using them, and
looking for thoughts on this prior to getting them connected...

No reason why they shouldn't work -- figure out how the cable is wired,
put connectors on the cable, and plug it in! The real issue with David
Clark headsets is comfort. I've tied them on more than once and found
them to be an instrument of torture, but comfort with headphones is
quite personal, depending on how our heads and ears are shaped, so YMMV.
