KX2 /KX3 Headset Question

[Jim Finan]

As a former air Traffic Controller I used the Plantronics StarSet headset for years. I've been wanting to adapt one to my KX3 (and now my KX2).

Jim (‎K9YC), in his RFI treatise, indicates that Plantronics headsets are a good choice. However, his recommendations were regarding the $25 variety, not necessarily the StarSet. 

My questions are:

1. Has anyone adapted a StarSet for this use?
2. Are there any reasons why the StarSet would be a bad choice?
3. Can the matching hand switch be adapted too?

Any suggestions would be appreciated

While the StarSet is only a single-sided headset, I haven't seen many that are lighter or  more compact. It would seem to be ideal for portable SSB.

I originally wanted to do this when I got my KX3 a couple years ago but my interest was rekindled after receiving my KX2 a week or so ago. 

Thanks and 73,

Jim
