[Icom] Heil Goldline & VOX

[K4HW]

Thanks for your reply Brad.

I assume that likely your VOX also is not quite usable with the Goldline.
That is one constant I think I can use for testing this theory that some
Pros have more mic gain than others. When I see reports that say that their
VOX works fine then that will be good evidence to support that suspicion. It
may turn out that all Pros have a bit less mic gain than we would like for
the Goldline mic.

73, Hal -K4HW
