Hello I am looking to get a new mic for my Icom IC-751 i was wondering what all of you ran and if you had any recommendations because the hand mic really doesn't have good audio on it. Let me know i was thinking either a heil mike or a D-104 if it would work on my rig. So im open to any suggestions haha. thanks for your input

Chong,
I would recommend the Heil, and the HC-5 cartridge. I'm not sure about the Icom's but I think they require a special adapter? Not a biggy, Heil has them. All I can say about them now, it that they have sure gone up in price! Still good mics though, makes you sound just like yourself. (Then again, that may not be what everyone wants.) If you're into the 'audio' thingy, Bob Heil also has studio mics, holders, mounts etc. (I don't recommend that, but I'm cheap!)

I mean if it was a headset mic i wouldn't mind but i just don't enjoy eating the mic ya know? thanks for the suggestion ill look into the mic you recommended.

    Hello gentlemen and Ladies. I have the dreaded RCI-2990 receive issue where my radio gets distorted when people get close to my location. I found the C90 Capacitor, but I can not for the life of me find the C89 capacitor. Can or does anyone have a picture of the exact location of C89 ? Thank you in advance, Wes
