[ICOM] Looking for a broken mic

[Larry Young]

Mike: As the HM-75 mike has an electret element, Might I suggest that you simply try changing the element in the mike that you have to an electret element. Radio Shack has several types you may want to try and substitute.They are inexpensive, around $3.ea.

I see and no I don't have a better way. I doubt Icom has mic elements 
for the HM-75.
I was thinking you wanted to tinker with the control functions and 
those are merely a voltage level shift though I no longer know the 
resistor values and their functions.
