[ICOM] SM 20

[David S McCallum]

Bill I don't doubt that the switch is bad but when mine quit I called HRO
Atlanta and they referred me to a repair guy up in Atlanta who found a
bad wire at point where it went into the base of the microphone in the
back...just a thought, maybe ICOM didn't even look at if you said it was
a bad switch. I can't not remember the repair guy in Atlanta but maybe
HRO can tell you...Good Luck Just trying To Help....Mac
