Hello everyone,
I own an Icom IC-208H mobile radio and used it as a base radio. For a while now, I've been wanting to install an actual desk mic at my desk and replace using the stock hand mic. I see that Heil manufactures a model known as the ICM which can be interfaced with the radio.
My question is, I have a Shure 503BG microphone that was used for radio communications a while ago on an old radio console. Is it possible to somehow interface this microphone with the IC-208H?
For example, if I were to obtain the Heil FS-3 (Footswitch) and then their appropriate mic cable adapter, could I just use the Shure mic? I am going to assume that this Heil equipment will only work with the Heil mics due to specifications, but I thought I'd ask.
If anyone knows of a way to interface this Shure mic with the radio, I'd greatly appreciate any input.
Thanks,
