Icom radios (with the exception of the new PRO radios) usually have
fairly low mic gain. The use of non-Icom mics often causes problems
similar to what is often experienced with the K2 when using mics like
the Heil HC-5, and Heil has responded by developing a mic element
specifically for Icom radios.

Since both radios have low mic gain, I suspect either the Heil Icom
element or the Heil K2 element would work well with both the 703 and the
K2, though that is just a guess. I don't know about the 817.
