[ICOM] Icom Microphones

[Iain]

While on the subject of Icom and mics, does anyone know if it is possible to
use a computer soundcard mic output to drive an Icom radio, a 775DSP, in my
case.

I presently , and have done for several years, use a lightweight computer
mic/headphone headset for listening.

In advance - thanks.

Iain
