Hi to the group.

For some unknown reason my Heil ICM mic element went bad.
Had to yell into the mic to get any audio out.  I successfully
replaced it with a Radio Shack Condenser Microphone Element
p/n 270-090 at a cost of $2.49.  It looks very similar to the
Heil ICM element.  On the air reports were impressive.   I had
successfully replaced a raspy sounding element in my SM-10
about a year ago with the same part number from RS.

I currently use an Icom ProII transceiver.

Not a bad price for a spare element.  73 de Fred.

BTW  The PROII is the finest piece of communications equipment
I have ever had the pleasure to use versus its cost.
