For antenna purposes and those frequencies, are there any differences
from one headset to another?

Somewhat. There are headsets (4 wires) and earphones (3 wires).
Either will work. The problem is that some of the headsets come with
shielded wires, which will cause reception problems. I've only seen
one like this, and it has an easily identified thick cable.


Wrong! The shield is used as the antenna!
