"BM-10 Head Set

After nearly 12 years of hibernation, the lovable little BM-10 is back! Hundreds of requests each year from all of our wonderful customers caused to take a fresh look at the headset that actually started it all back in 1985.

Developed as a request of the Northern California DX Pedition team that was headed for Navassa, the BM-10 quickly became THE headset for the top contest and DX operators.

After all these years, we have retooled the BM-10 and have upgraded the cable system to use our AD-1 adapter interface.

There are three models of the BM-10. The color of the earpad designates the type of element that is installed in the microphone boom."
