[Icom] Heil Goldline & VOX

Thanks John,

It is good to know about the ProII also. I suspected that there were =
some
Pros that had hotter mic inputs than others but I didn't know for sure. =
Was
hoping that this little survey would help prove that suspicion. Also, =
hope
they have it fixed in the ProIIs so all ProIIs have sufficient mic gain.
