user: You are replying to All about "ICOM IC-290H Mic Needed".

Write your reply.

assistant: I have an opportunity to buy an Icom IC-290-H All-mode radio from a
friend, but he said that in order to generate PL tones, it needs a specical
microphone that apparently has the tone-injection circuitry in it. He doesn't
have one, he has the standard mic that came with it. He bought the radio used
so we don't know much about it. PL tones have only become necessary around
here quite recently.
        Does anyone have experience with this radio (good-bad-etc) or know
where I can get the mic, or how expensive its likely to be if its still
available?
        Is $200 a reasonable price to pay for this radio? It appears to be in
very good condition, and is (I *think*) 5/50 watts output.
Thanks -

i am not first hand familiar with the ic290, however all my radios
except my ht is an icom. i have been happy with them. perhaps someone with
personal experience can tell us about that model !
i don't believe that a special mike is needed for pl tones. you can get a pl
tone generator that is slightly bigger than a postage stamp and it  connects
internally at the deviation pot. all for less than fifty bucks.
perhaps you mean dtmf (touch tone)?
to access autopatches and other remote control devices you may need a mike
with a touch tone pad built-in.

Yep... and use my Co-SysOp's E-mail when it's REALLY hot, (like the 2M HT
I got for 150 hard-won bux!)... but sometimes I get a day or so behind in
the mail here.   :-{
If it can't do CW, it shouldn't be too hard to add that capability...
key a transmitter stage and add a BFO to the receiver if there isn't one
already.  Besides, AM is rarely used any more, but it's still legal.   ;-}
And I may get into RTTY/data one of these days.  (FSK shouldn't be too
hard to add to a VFO).  Being an apartment dweller, I don't have anywhere
to put an antenna for anything below 15 meters, and I have phone
priveledges from 10 M up.  I'm not just an appliance-operator newbie, even
though I have a new call.  I've been into eletricity & electronics, -
including a stint as Chief Engineer of an FM BC station - since the '40s.
I don't mind getting into equipment and making a few changes... I'm just
not up to designing a rig from scratch, and Heathkit disapeared from the

 Well, he may do as I ..a Tech.  In the mid 60's I picked up a PMR-7,
 obtained an old mobile HF antenna from a good friend and wannabe
 Elmer and LISTENED for hours.  I was fascinated.  But I could never
 master that code.
 When I saw Bill's offer I was elated and typed a "I want it" reply,
 then saw your "Send 'm down" message and killed my request.  I may
 not be licensed to talk but I can sure listen!  And possibly Ivy
 would do as I with my existing HF xcvr ...listen and dream of the
