[bars] Icom headset for Field Day?

[Tim - K1DC]

Art,

It appears that one of the two Heil headsets has a dynamic, rather than 
condenser mic element; Icoms expect a condenser.  I'm going to grab an 
adapter from HRO tomorrow but I fear that the dynamic element will not 
have enough drive for decent audio.  We can always use the hand mic with 
the headset speakers, which work fine.

The third station (6M) has only the hand mic and a set of Sony (?) 
headphones.

73,

Tim/K1DC
