http://www.landfallnavigation.com/icomicm422.html<http://www.landfallnavigation.com/icomicm422.html> On Saturday, I installed the Icom m422 VHF on Radiant. The basic installation was as simple as you would expect: power and antenna. Not typical for me, but I actually read some of the instruction manual. There was a picture and description of the microphone. The actual microphone was like something you would find in a cell phone. From the outside, it's a little square, roughly 1/16" x 1/16", on the lower part of the hand-set. What looks like a microphone, those we are familiar with, apparently does nothing at all. It's just there to make you feel like you are holding a microphone. Too funny. Fin.

Fin, they don't want us owners of fancy yachts to be seen talking into the end of a wire like some kind of idiot. Besides, where would the on button go? I guess you could just squeeze the end of the wire?
