Icom IC-7000

Picked up a Icom 7000 the other day as a backup rig to my TS-2000.  I have been thinking and researching the need for a backup. After much thought and several hours @ HRO playing with all the radios I ended up deciding on the 7000. For the price and features I think I made the correct decision.  I did buy a LDG IT-100 auto tuner for it also along with a Heil HM-iC.  Currently on air reports from fellow .52 FM folks are saying that the stock mic sounds better than the Heil.  I have done the adjustments recommended on the Heil page but I still seem to be back at square one. I contacted online support from Heil and they gave me some info and told me to call Bob if I needed any further help. I plan to make that call next week.  But all in all the 7000 is a great little radio.
