Folks - I'm having difficulty getting audio from my Avcomm headset to
my Icom A-21 handheld.
The Icom requires a condenser microphone and the Avcomm has an
'electret' element, which as I understand is a variety of condenser
mic.
Has anyone had a similar problem and how was it solved? - Mike

PS- I see a variety of circuitry on the 'net describing how to power
the microphone, but I was hoping not to have to go off building
another box.


Michael, I had problems with my Avcomm headset's mike and sent it back
to the factory for repairs which they did and returned it. It then
would not work with my STS handheld. I called them and they asked what
radio I was using.
I told them and they said that they had replaced the element in the
mike width a newer version and that it worked well with an in dash
radio, but not with a handheld. I returned the headset and they put in
the older model element. It works fine now.
