Aftermarket GPS display mic for XTS??

[iamjason]

Listing says its a GPS mic made by Pryme but I'm not seeing it anywhere on their website or via Google image search.

Anyone use one of these things? Not sure whether I like it or not (looks sort of tacky) but its definitely interesting.

Guess I answered my own question.

Clone of the EF Johnson Discoverer mic (which has been out for awhile now): http://twowayradio.org/store/index.php?startcat=16&prodid=15

Well, there we go.

Actually the mic was invented by and first made by Infinity. The licensed it to EFJ, got screwed by EFJ, sued EFJ, won. Sold product line to Icom who now makes the REDHAWK mic.

Interesting idea. I never knew those existed. I'm not sure if I like it or not either.

Now, if only they would combine that with a commander mic, to have a "control head" for a handheld, they would have a winner. Like the heads for the PRC-117.
