Stereo/Dual-Watch/Dual-Receive Boom-Mic headset in Carbon Fiber finish

Congratulations on acquisition of your new

radiosport

headset.

Every effort has been made to build simply the best headsets we can for
Amateur Radio. In order to enjoy your new headset to the fullest we
would like to cover some of the adjustments and features of your
radiosport headset.

Fit the headset to your head…

The headset is adjustable and is originally set for a small head to
provide a comfortable fit for even young teenager Amateur Radio
Operator or Shortwave Listener. To have the most comfortable fit you
may want to spread the headband by pulling the headphone ear cups
outward to stretch the band’s loop. Stretch it just enough so there is
not too much pressure on the sides of your head, but enough to seal
the ear cushions around your ears so you enjoy the benefits of noise
reduction and so that they won’t slip off during normal head movement.
If you go too far, no problem, simply push the headphone ear cups
back together slipping one cup past the other if needed to narrow the
spread.

How you wear them makes the difference in comfort…

Always set the headband over the center of your ears or slightly forward for the best balance and comfort. If you
wear the headset too far back you will feel weight placed on your neck. Proper balance means not feeling the

Other features…

The RS60CF headset is equipped standard with a PTT Button (the Red Button) on the Left Ear Cup. Like all
Professional Communications Headsets this is a momentary PTT button for occasional use when you’re not using VOX
or move away from the operating position and your external Hand/Desk PTT or Foot PTT Switch. This is the same

You will also find standard on each RS60CF headset a 3.5mm Stereo Jack on the Right Ear Cup. This jack can serve
several uses. For example you can connect the audio output of your 2 Meter rig so you can hear the local gang talk
about new DX while you’re tuning the bands. This is a stereo jack so you can chose which ear you want to hear by
selecting the Tip or Ring connection. In a contest, another operator logging can plug our RS20S headset in this jack

Radio Interface…

Due to the wide array of radio interfaces for modern amateur radio gear the Headset-To-Radio cable is sold
separately. The left ear cup has a Switchcraft miniXLR headset port, similar to the industry standard 5-Pin miniXLR on
professional communications headsets except these have a 6th pin for the second Audio Channel. While nearly every
desktop HF radio made for the past twenty years supports Stereo Audio output, this is very important for modern
high-end Dual-Watch/Dual-Receive transceivers. You may use the same headset with multiple radios or a new radio
acquired in the future by ordering an appropriate Headset-To-Radio cable, by simply releasing the locking miniXLR

terface plug and swapping for another Headset-to-Radio cable.

About our Headset-To-Radio cables…

Our Headset-To-Radio cables are supplied with a standard 3.5mm headphone plug wired to industry standard stereo
pin out. A quality 3.5mm to ¼” adapter is supplied that provides a secure and compact interface to your radio. If
you wish to plug the 3.5mm headphone plug into a Monaural radio audio output as on some small mobile rigs, then
slide the
drivers.
The Microphone interface will depend on the particular radio it will be attached to. Most popular among Microphone
interface plugs are of course the Foster 8-Pin Mic connector, the RJ-45 8-Pin interface, and the standard XLR Mic
interface plug for use with radios like the Yaesu FTDX-9000 front panel XLR Mic jack and Flex 6000 Series rear panel
interface. We also offer the Headset-To-Radio cable with a Foster 4-Pin Mic connector for TenTec Omni (including
early Omni, Corsair, Paragon and V/VI/VI-Plus radios) and Orion I (Balanced Mic input) as well as 4-Pin Fos
connector for other HF Amateur Radio gear using either low impedance Dynamic or Electret Condenser Mics.

All radiosport Headset-To-Radio cables utilize Kevlar reinforced 26Ga low capacitance wires with Teflon insulation and
a rugged outer jacket able to stand up to years of use. Microphone wiring is via balanced wiring from the Mic to the
Mic connector. The radio then determines whether the Mic interface is to be balanced or unbalanced. The
Microphone wiring shield is attached only to the shell of the Microphone connector (when it is a metal connector) and
is isolated from the Headphone common lead (sleeve of the headphone plug) as modern radios have small chokes
that protect sensitive circuits inside the radio on all wiring internally and therefore each co

Optional accessories…

We offer a few accessories for use with the RS60CF headset including a rugged Foot Operated PTT Switch with the
same Kevlar reinforced wires with Teflon insulation and terminated in a (back to the future) RCA Phono Plug. We also
offer a Hand Operated PTT Switch equipped with both a Momentary PTT button and a Pu
A supplied Velcro Mounting pad allows temporary fixing to the desk top for convenience.
While most modern HF desktop radios have returned to using an RCA Phono jack on the rear panel for attaching an
external PTT Switch some modern rigs still are using a DIN Accessory connector for external PTT Attachment. For
those rigs we have an adapter from the 5-Pin (TenTec) 7-Pin (ICOM & Kenwood) or 13-Pin DIN (HF/50 and VHF/UHF
PTT are typically separated on the 13-Pin interface so these adapters have 2 RCA Phono jacks) for ICOM radios. An
