Headset


 

I'm planning to buy a headset to use with my FT 60. Anyone have any recommendations or favorites?

Are you working events? In a noisy environment? Or just want the convenience of a speaker-mic / headset?

When I worked a NASCAR event, I used a custom-molded earpiece for my left ear, and a 22db quieting earplug in my right. I was better protected from noise than the guys in the pits with those headsets ... There is nothing more comfortable than a custom-made ear mold ... Audiologists make them.

Do you want single-ear coverage, or both ears?

Heil has his new HTH lightweight HT headset: mini-boom mic, and single ear speaker. Model HTT-Y is the one for the Yaesu 3.5mm / 4-conductor jack on our FT-60R rigs. Comfortable unit.

To cover both ears, Heil has answers for you, too.?

SO - What do you want from a headset? Complete isolation to the point of not hearing the phone ring or people yell at you? (grin) Or a more sinple single-ear earpiece of some sort?

I work events, some fairly noisy. Since I have to communicate with people by talking, I need one ear free, so a single ear unit would be necessary.?

Hey Jerry

I would like to tell you that since the 4-way Yaesu plus seems to be it's "achilles heel" so to speak I would urge you to spend a bit more NOW and get an original product made to specifications, vs. spend a bit less now and get a non-conforming product that will truly ruin your experience.

If the plug is even a tiny bit off, then you will have problems. Please don't make my mistake(s) notice the S there, yes by the time all was said and done I advocate that anything that plugs into that 4-way port on the FT-60R/E go genuine product and don't fall for any of "I have it for half price, or even less" crap. At the end of the day you want to use the damn thing.

My 2-cents advice.

I put the Heil HTHY on my Yaesu FT-60. The earpiece sound quality was very good. However the mic gain was low based on the signal reports I received. Since the FT-60 doesn't have a mic gain setting, I am returning the Heil. Does anyone have recommendations for an affordable headset for the FT-60 that has solid mic gain?

I'm not familiar with that headset but specs show an electret microphone element which must have bias applied to function.? I don't think the FT60 supplies bias.

Is there a place to put in a battery?? Maybe in the PTT switch housing?

Do you have a callsign?
