Has anyone got one of the new Icoms to work with a headset?
I am in the market for a handheld transciever for use in our Chippy, so bought an Icom A-6E with OPC499 haedset adaptor. Worked fine without the headset, but on fitting the OPC499 and headset, it just gave feedback whistle on transmit. So I took it back to the dealer.
He got another A-6E out of stock, another OPC499, and a new headset - same result. Tried different headsets - same result. Same OPC499 and headsets worked fine with an A-3 transceiver the dealer had in stock.
I got a refund from the dealer, and e-mailed Icom who said they were aware of the problem (RF feedback) and had a fix. Someone off the 'Flyer' forum who had the same problem had Icom apply the fix to his A-6E. But when he got it back, it still had the same problem.
Has anyone out there got an A-6E or A-24E that works OK with a headset?
