ICOM IC-7300 Boom mic with hand and foot PTT switches

I've had this mic sitting in a cupboard for a couple of years, I finally had a look at installing it and decided to put it on my ICOM IC 7300.

I am still waiting for two sockets to arrive from eBay so the wiring is temporary but it works. Transferring it to the proper sockets will be a 2 minute job.

The mic is an Ebay £20 condenser microphone and is being powered by a £30 phantom mic driver.

The hand switch was again bought from eBay for £10 and the foot switch was £3.

I have a 3.5mm and a 6.5mm socket on order so the wiring will be complete once they arrive.

I already had the mic and power supply so didn't have to buy them. If you were to buy everything I am using at current eBay prices, you can set this same system up for just £46.74. It's very easy to wire up and works very well.
