[ICOM] IC-2100 audio

[Mike Reublin NF4L]

Thanks, Reid.

I don't turn up anything online. The board screws are really tight, not even a hair movement. I had already swapped the mic cord end for end and also re-crimped the RJ45s.

They usually entail opening up the unit and tightening the PC board mounting screws. Adding a ground strap to a couple of the screws and the case ground. I'd say about 90 - 95% of the time this remedies the problem. Otherwise the 2100 is not a bad rig especially for mobile and I like the old HM-98 mike with the tone button cover for mobile. Also, you might swap the RJ45 mike connectors around on the mike. Both ends of the cord are the same.
