With regard to the stock hand mic:
At least with the stock mic included with the �ProII (HM-36), I found
(upon disassembly to find out why it sounded so GASTLY!) that Icom had
installed what looks like a tip from a pool cue stick hard against the
electret element within the housing, almost entirely restricting all audio
from reaching the diaphragm within. Once I applied the soon-to-be (I�m
confident ;->) Icom-approved �field modification� by removing this wayward
refuse, the mic�s audio response was GREATLY IMPROVED! (What were they
thinking?)
I sure love my �756ProII!
