Selecting the Right radiosport Headset
To assist you with selecting the RIGHT HEADSET for YOUR APPLICATION, we build three primary categories of headsets.
1) Desktop HF Fixed Station - Listen-Only or Boom-Mic Headsets
RS20S-10A - Our Latest edition Listen-Only Headset for CW Ops or SWLs
These headsets are ideal for CW Ops or for Ops that may normally use either a Desk Mic, or a Studio Style Desk-Boom-Mic. They work especially well for either CW or SSB .
These headsets feature 32 Ohm Drivers that closely match headphone volume with normal speaker volume.
Our 10th Anniversary Edition RS20S-10A features Frequency response of 70Hz to 6000Hz means weak signals aren't covered up by high frequency atmospheric and audio amplifier generated noise, and the 50Hz low end cut-off provides superb rich voice articulation and excellent narrow passband CW reception with the latest HF radios that feature both TX & RX EQ.
