View Full Version : Icom Boom Mike

Icom used to sell a slim, sexy boom mike, about 2/3
the thickness of all the chunky ones that seem to be
readily available.

Anyone know if it's still in production?
If so where can I get one?
Or any alternatives ?

Most of the ones available from your typical pilot's
shop seem to be about 10mm diam, the Icom one as I
remember was about 6 or 7mm (That's the gooseneck bit
not the Mike!)

Cheers

Kevin

To the best of my knowledge it is no longer available if you are
referring to the IC-HS15.

Which model of ICOM are you trying to work to? The microphone
arrangements for the A3E/A22 are different from the legacy models
(A2/A20). The HS15 would work with the A2 or A20 but probably not to an
A3E or A22.

I'm actually using an Icom A20.

However if I can find a source for a slim gooseneck
I can change the Microphone insert to suit whatever
radio.
My problem is that the goosenecks that are readily
available seem much fatter than the Icom HS15 used
to be
