I have a Heil headset with microphone and a hand switch which is an awesome setup! I can’t recommend them enough. The hand switch is great as well. I’m a paraplegic and the hand switch serves in place of a foot switch. And FWIW, I have no stake in the company at all, I just like their stuff.
@@Tinman386wisconsin That sucks! I got mine over a decade ago so I had no idea, but I wonder why it was mentioned in the video by the company rep if it’s discontinued.
@RobinP556 yes, I'm confused by that also. Unless their bringing it back and I'm unaware. Or maybe the ceo in the video was unaware it's discontinued. I bought mine a few years ago and when I found out they were discontinued I bought another from ebay and so did a friend of mine. These truly are the best/ most comfortable keyers that were on the market.
I really like my Heil hand switch but when I wanted to buy another I couldn't find them anywhere and HRO told me they were discontinued. I tried the Heil ICM microphone with the icom 7300 and it introduced a terrible noise over the air making it unusable and I haven't looked at another Heil product since. I have also started making my own hand keyers, Which is a real bummer because the Heil keyer in my opinion was the best option on the market.

They discontinued the hand switch according to HRO.
All the online shops are all out of stock on them for over a year now. 😢😢😢
