[ICOM] ICOM IC-208H mic gain question

[George J. Nixon Jr.]

Yes, it does have FM Narrow bandwith and I changed to that in desparation; didn't seem to help the reports I received!
From all the reports, it looks like that's the nature of this beast!
Thanks and 73.

If the 208H has selectable bandwidth, make sure that FM-Narrow is NOT selected in the setup menu!

I've also opened the insulation behind the aperture in the mic itself.  Is there an internal pot adjustment, or part replacement that can be used for this purpose?   I'm also looking for about a 2 ft. coiled mic 8-conductor cable for the HM-133 on it also!
