Contest Package - Compact Headset for Icom, FS, VMKeyer |
Features great
sound with full range audio, and I've been getting nothing but excellent
'ON AIR' audio reports ("Sounds just like you, Bob!").
It's such a great performer (and such a great deal) that I decided
to make it available to the ham community.
20Hz - 20kHz headphones, 100Hz - 16kHz electret mic, -59dBV/uBar sensitivity,
high impedance electret mic element, 6ft cable.
Finally, a way to get rid of that "clothes-pin-on-your-nose" contest sound at a fraction of the cost of inferior "name brand" units!
Headset can be worn with the mic on the left or right side and swivels from below front to top
Headset plugs directly into your Icom radio Mic jack - for Mic, PTT and VM1 Keying, no adapter.
This
complete custom Icom contesting package is ready to go call CQ.
- The Headset
- Foot Switch for PTT TX keying
- Voice Keyer Botton for auto calling CQ
This is very cool, record your CQ call into voice memory #1 and the button runs it as many times as you want. When someone calls, use the foot switch to work them - this way your cq voice and your answer back are the same voice and at the same level - WORKS GREAT!!
- Compact and lightweight for minimum fatigue, maximum comfort
- Delivers punchy, good-sounding audio without costly outboard electronics!
- Move about your operation hands-free while maintaining optimal voice-to-mic proximity!
- Operate quietly, without disturbing the family!Perfect for contesting and Field Day!
- Complete, ready to plug in and go!
This is for newer Icom radios having a round mic connector and voice keyer function
7300, 7600, 7610, 7700, 7760, 7800, 756PRO.
Please check your manual to see about voice memory support.
A couple websites showing how this sets up and works, pretty cool!
