- LOW AUDIO FROM SPEAKER MIKE ON IC2A, 3A, 4A OR O2AT HAND-
- HELDS
- If you own one of the IC2A, 3A, or O2AT series Hand-helds,
- you may be interested in reading on. I know my hearing is
- pretty good, but have you ever tried to listen to the audio
- coming out of your speaker mike on the above ICOM's? For the
- most part, it's pretty low. I may be the last guy to figure
- out a cure for this, but here it is anyway. On the O2AT,
- etc., there is a groove on the back near the top of the rig
- that is just the right size to accept the HM9 speaker mike
- turned 90 degrees so that the mike plug fits in that groove
- in the rear of the rig. Thus alllowing all the audio to be
- heard from the internal speaker of the rig, usually much
- better than the speaker mike.
- Now, in the case of the 2A series, etc., the fix is more
- complex. These rigs don't have that handy groove built in,
- so I decided a groove had to be made to accept this
- configuration. I thought long and hard about a minute,
- before getting the "Dremel" out and making my own slot or
- groove. It works well on both hand-helds I have. In fact,
- you can hook up an external speaker for even more loudness in
- the auto. So, give it a try or see me for a demo.
