    Does anyone have the Icom SM 8 desk mic Specifications??

    I can't say for sure, but I know the SM-20 and SM-30 works on the IC-736. The SM-8 is stated to also work on the IC-736. Therefore one might *expect* the SM-8 would work on all of them. It has been my experience that ICOM has held steady in that area. I will see what I can find however when I...
