[Icom] ICM Mic element Problem

[Alfred Carlson]

Hi to the group.
For some unknown reason my Heil ICM mic element went bad.  Had to yell
into the mic to get any audio out.  I successfully replaced it with a
Radio Shack Condenser Microphone Element p/n 270-090 at a cost of
$2.49.  It looks very similar to the ICM element.  On the air reports
were impressive.   I had successfully replaced a raspy sounding element
in my SM-10 about a year ago with the same part number from RS.  I
presently use an Icom ProII transceiver.
  Not a bad price for a spare element.  73 de Fred.
BTW  The PROII is the finest piece of communications equipment I have
ever had the pleasure to use versus its cost.
