I missed that talkabotu the  wireless headset, and am behind on my E mail reading. how expensive is that headset,and  do you know what frequency range it uses, is it analog o digital transmission ect. and  the price is a worthwhile consideration.   I have to say in contest citations have used heel headsets and have been very pleased with them, and unlikely as it may seem the phasing switch on the earphones is useful in difficult band conditions, although i can not explain why it helped.
