In talking to others, I understand that Icom Microphones are special
creatures for the Icom line of radios.
Sometimes I have noticed - you can't even swap them between Icom Models
themselves.
So I am asking this question to avoid messing something up on my rig.
I have an IC-728 and a hand microphone, I would like to be able to build
a headset microphone for it for higher quality audio output.
I have some old Plantronics amplified headsets that were made for using
on a regular telephone and some headsets from old cell phones.
One from the cell phones (a Belkin) I especially like because of the
quality of the earpiece.
I am already using it plugged into the Headphone jack in the front of
the rig for listening.
Since I have Audio Output at the microphone jack I would like to be able
to wire this headset into the mic input for both functions of Mic and
Headset. What considerations do I need to look at to make this possible?
I don't have the money to buy a Heil or anything like that - so please
let's stay off that subject as it is frustrating for me already.
73 fer nw,

Code may be taking a back seat for now,
but the pioneering spirit that put the code
there in the first place is out front of it all.
