[Icom] Re: Mic Gain Problems with 706MKII

I've been using the stock mic and have had OK results.  I do have the HS706 
and use it mobile.  Now that I'm using my 706 as a temporary station radio 
(only spare HF rig I own), I'll report back results when I go to the Heil 
mic

I observed this problem and it is pretty known among
the 706 users. I got too sick of the stock mic and
invested on a Heil HS706. Boy! That made a big
difference. Once I had the HS 706 in hand, I opened up
the stock mic and removed a rubber disk (some people
call it the muffler!) and that made some
difference...ofcourse it is no where close to the
HS706 that I have. If you open up the stock mic,
please be very careful with a tiny 'lil spring at the
base of the PTT. It fell out of mine and I spent a
good deal of time searching for it.

Good luck with the mic and enjoy the radio
