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

[Steve Jones]

Paul, Let me know if you have heard of FM SSB also. I could have typed
poorly but I had a guy ask me about working just SSB and my response was
supposed to be....No I am going to work SSB, FM simplex and repeaters. I
could go back and check my sent mail but I do not remember sending any mail
saying FM SSB...hi  hi. I will have to give Bob a call when he gets back
from Hamcom to see if he will send me a mic to try, 73, Steve, NX1G
