[Icom] Mic for IC275H, any thoughts there fellow Icom onwers???

Sun, 9 Jun 2002 17:00:43 -0400

The main reason I lean toward the SM-8 personally is for the up/down buttons
on the mic because the way I'm set up it's hard to tune around with the knob
on the radio, I have all my HF stuff and mics on the desk, then a shelf with
the UHF, VHF, and my scanner on it so it's tough, but I think you can find
good deals on any mic you might consider if you look. I got a great deal on
my SM-8. Good luck. I'd be curious what you decide to run for a mic and how
it sounds. I don't stay interested in 1 set up long, i always need to change
something, radio mic,  antenna, something, I can't leave things alone  hi hi
