Icom IC-A5/23 and David Clark

I have a question regarding the headset connection between a Icom
IC-A5/A23 handheld transceiver to a David Clark H10-13X headset.
Are there any known problems or compatibility issues?

While doing a product review, Avionics West Inc. has made some
tests about the compatibility with different headset models. See
http://www.avionicswest.com/articles/a23.htm.

Can anyone confirm their experience? If it won't work properly in
combination with my 10-13X the unit does not make any sense as a
backup device during flight.

BTW, why is the newer handy A-5 model much cheaper than the "old"
and clumsier A-3? Anybody has an idea?

Thanks for your help!

Nobody uses an Icom A-5??? Please help!
