Yes there is a switch on the back of the head. I have not had to use it either. I am sure the manual covers its use.

I meant to include the words “a switch”.
Isn’t there one on the backside of the detachable head. The manual describes its operation Haven't fooled with mine in quite a while. It’s worth checking out. The 706 had something similar.
Neil,
Thanks for the reply.? ?I'll try to figure it out.

Hi Ed
If I understand your question correctly.
You want to be able to turn off the internal speaker and use a headset (as in headphones).
Well there is a headphone jack on the side of the head ( RHS), when you plug in there the speaker is disabled.?
However if you want to use the microphone as well on a headset, then you would need to?
1. Make sure microphone is compatible with the 7000
2. You would need an interface cable between mic jack and headset.
I have not attempted 2 as yet, but I use the headphone jack to interface to my computer for running a program called Spectran, and it definitely switches of speaker.
Cheers?
Neil

I have an IC7000 and would like to have a switch from the internal speaker and a headset. Suggestions?
