Adapter for the IC-705 and some Heil Headsets Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
The Good - this adapter lets me use my Heil Pro Set Elite headset with my IC-705 transceiver.

Do not forget to turn on the Menu/Connectors/Mic Jack 8V output. You'll get weird problems if you forget...

The Bad - what on earth were you thinking with that stupid transmit switch that's only 11 inches from the transceiver? Anyone with a Pro Set already is likely to also have an HS-2 trigger switch or FS-3 foot switch. I have both and can't use them.

Bottom line - the good outweighs the bad but it could have been better. Maybe come out with a second model with the trigger jack instead of the little switch? I may buy another one, cut off the switch and replace with a two pin 1/4 inch phone jack myself.
