It cannot be removed, because it powers some other parts of the circuit=2E=
=20
BUT, you can move the red lead to the other side of the resistor (there is=

an unused pad on the circuit board there) and it works like gang busters=2E=


Thanks for the hint=2E

Yes, take out that 1k in the power lead=2E=2E=2Ethat will increase the out=
put,
but I don't know how much=2E=2E=2E

Which resistor?   The 1k resistor in the power lead to the mike???  The
rig
is an ICOM 725

You can try taking the resistor out also=2E=2E=2E  If its an older rig (73=
0,
40, etc=2E) they don't have a mic preamp in them=2E =20

I took it out and the output doubled, but it is still too weak at the
lower
frequencys=2E  I can get full modulation only with a shrill whistle=2E  Wi=
th
voice it is only about 25% modulation=2E

You really don't need the =2E047 cap=2E Since you are using an electret=2E=

Take that out and your output will jump!

I have a brand new Icom HM-12 mic,=20
Still in the plastic wrap, $45=2E00 shipped
to your door via UPS ground=2E=20
73   Ken     k9kjm@arrl=2Enet=20

I pulled the microphone apart and discovered what appears to be an
electret
element so I tried putting in an electret from Radio Shack when I found
the
red wire had 8=2E0 Volts coming through a 1K resistor it seemed to match
the
schematic for an electret mike=2E  After puting it back together using the=

RS
element and a =2E047 cap in series to the audio line I had modulation once=

again, so I think I am on the right track, but it is very low output=2E

So I need some advice or I still need a HM-12 mobile mike for the ICOM
725
