Greetings-
I'm Bob Nagy - AB5N. I, like you ,am a owner of the
exciting new
IC-7000 by Icom. I have to give it highest
ratings across the board except for
one glaring problem, the HM-151
hand microphone -and it's low output level.
I've solved the problem by engineering an upgrade which gives this
mic the superb audio quality and output you need to make the 7000
really shine! Read on and see if what I am proposing might work for
you. NEWS:
Icom is shipping the 7000 with a Chinese-made
mic now. Click here for
info on it if your mic says "Made in China" on the back.
And yes, I'm still doing this upgrade as of Fall / Winter 2009.
PS: The HM-133 mic seems to also have low audio
when used with some
radios. My element works
well in it also. I don't recommend it for use with D-star radios.
Also the IC-7200's HM-36 as shipped - is muddy. My Type #2 element
works gangbusters in it also. Click here
for my special IC-7200 mic offer.
ALERT: I will be
shutting down for an early spring break from February 4th till
February 14th. DO NOT ship mics to me after February 1st.
Mics that arrive here after the 4th will have to wait till after our
Spring Break. I've got to take some down-time here! If in
doubt, wait to ship until Feb 11th. I will be shipping kits
to DX stations during this
period.
Thanks-
