Yamaha CM500 Headset

I ordered a Yamaha CM500 headset through Amazon for
my newly completed K3. They are really nice and comfortable. I have kind of larger ears and they completely cover my ears and don't bother my glasses. My ears hurt if I wear any headset that lays on my ears so these will be nice. The sound in the earphone is good. Will be testing the mic later this afternoon. $59.95 from Amazon.com. I think this is a bit more than others have paid but I got free shipping. Thanks to the people who posted about this headset on the Elecraft reflector. I bought these with confidence that they would do a good job! 73 Keith N8CEP ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[hidden email] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html |

Hi Keith,
Yes the price has increased. Last fall I bought a set from Amazon for about $49.00. I dropped a monitor on that set (UGH!!!). They still work but I bought another set just in case they stop working during a contest. I also paid the increased price. I think you will be happy with them. I have worn them through several contest with glasses and they are the most comfortable I have used. Good luck, 73 Joe K2UF No trees were harmed in the sending of this e-mail; however, many electrons were inconvenienced. -----Original Message----- From: [hidden email] [mailto:[hidden email]] On Behalf Of Keith Hamilton Sent: Thursday, February 16, 2012 1:35 PM To: [hidden email] Subject: [Elecraft] Yamaha CM500 Headset I ordered a Yamaha CM500 headset through Amazon for my newly completed K3.

I used a Heil Pro-Set Plus for several years before my friend, Jim Brown,
urged me to try the CM500. Well, it is a heck of lot more comfortable, the sound is better, and the mic works much better. Anyone want to buy a Heil Pro-Set Plus in excellent condition?

Just one thing I wanted to check on. The microphone plug on the
CM500 is a stereo 1/8" plug. The mic-in jack on the rear of the K3 says "mic mono" I am not getting into trouble plugging a stereo plug into a mono jack am I ??? 73 Keith N8CEP -----Original Message----- From: Joe K2UF Sent: Thursday, February 16, 2012 1:58 PM To: [hidden email] Subject: Re: [Elecraft] Yamaha CM500 Headset Hi Keith, Yes the price has increased.

Keith,
The K3 jack is a stereo one, but since only the tip is connected, it is mono in operation. 73, Don W3FPR On 2/16/2012 2:24 PM, Keith Hamilton wrote: > Just one thing I wanted to check on.

Don't use the accessory battery box, not needed. Set bias on in the K3
and go for it. 73, Dennis NJ6G On 2/16/2012 11:46 AM, [hidden email] wrote: > I have played with my newly acquired CM500 using the test server on Echolink, and heard a definite background noise - which I think was from the server.

My one-and only problem with my CM-500 is that after a couple of months,
the 1/8" stereo plug on the headphones became intermittent on one side. I cut off the existing plug and tried to solder on a 1/4" stereo plug. It wasn't easy. The problem is that each side of the cable contains two conductors (stereo, right?) The tricky part is that the signal sides are colored and, so far as I can tell, must be coated with some sort of insulating material to keep them from shorting to the bare common conductors. That coating takes some heavy-duty heating and tinning to get a solderable end on the wires. It can be done, and the headset is emphatically worth it, but it's harder than it looks at first. 73, Pete N4ZR The World Contest Station Database, updated daily at www.conteststations.com The Reverse Beacon Network at http://reversebeacon.net, blog at reversebeacon.blogspot.com, spots at telnet.reversebeacon.net, port 7000 and arcluster.reversebeacon.net, port 7000 On 2/16/2012 2:28 PM, Oscar Staudt wrote: > The plug that comes on the microphone works just fine on the rear K3 plug. > Plug and play... > Oscar, WB5GCX > > On Thu, Feb 16, 2012 at 1:24 PM, Keith Hamilton<[hidden email]>wrote: > >> Just one thing I wanted to check on.

Hi Pete,
Yamaha will replace your headphones if they are within the one year warranty period. It will not be necessary to return the defective headset. You would just have to e-mail or fax a copy of your receipt. The customer service phone number is: 714-522-9000 (PST). If it is past warranty it might be helpful to speak to them anyway. I had a head band failure and received a replacement. For those with Heil headsets, I sold my Proset K2 (originally purchased from Elecraft) on eBay. I listed it starting at $1 and had quite a few bidders before it concluded at $106 plus shipping. 73, Mike K2MK

I just bought one too with all the recommendations on this list, and it
works great so far. Just turn the bias on and its plug and play. Don't have a Heil to compare it to but this will work fine for me.

With all this talk of the Yamaha headset I tried to purchase one in the UK
however they appear to be unobtainable. Does anyone know of a UK or Eu source?

I'm not sure Peter but I thought someone said that B&H Photo would ship overseas.

Keith,
Afraid not, attempted to order one on-line, and received the message: 'Due to the manufacturers restrictions, we are unable to accept orders with a shipping address in UNITED KINGDOM for the following item(s): Yamaha CM500 - Headset with Boom Microphone Please provide a different ship to location or remove these items from your cart.' So far I haven't found a supplier in the UK. 73 Jim - G3ZQC On Fri, 2012-02-17 at 08:58 -0800, N8CEP wrote: > I'm not sure Peter but I thought someone said that B&H Photo would ship > overseas. > 73 > Keith N8CEP > > -- ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[hidden email] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html |

The usual purpose of this is to allow local distributors to make a higher profit with excessive markups. From reports I've received, that also seems to be the case with distribution of Fair-Rite products in the UK, and may also be true in EU. There are sometimes other reasons for such a limitation, like restrictions placed on business or EMC and safety inspections by various countries, or the difficulty of exchanging funds, and so on. 73, Jim K9YC ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[hidden email] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html |
