[Icom] ICOM 725

Mon, 28 Oct 2002 05:27:59 -0600

Jim,
If you're coming to Dallas today, there are several ham radio shops in the 
area - one being "Texas Towers" up in Plano (just north of Dallas) and is a 
relatively easy "run" up Route 75 (known as "Central Expressway").

I'd call ahead and see if they have some suitable iCOM mikes in stock, what 
the price is, and so on.  I'd bring back a spare just to be sure!

That sounds like a good trick. I am leaving for a wedding in Dallas
tomorrow but as soon as I get back I will check it out.  I sure hope its
the mike, that would be a cheap repair.
