I use a Heil Pro 7 Headset and an Icom adapter and it works great. Never used the mic that came with the rig.

Yes, an IC-706 etc. Mike should work
OK.
Not tried, though. Klaus, DK3QN

ELAD FDM-DUO is plug-compatible with
Icom RJ45 ('Western' 8 pole) plugs.
At least as far as it goes with PTT
hot, PTT ground, Mike hot and Mike ground connections.
For the rest (there are Icom Mikes with
a lot of 'fancy' buttons): I do not know.
I'd recommend staying away from these Mikes. Klaus, DK3QN

Hi, Steve - welcome to the Duo! I'm sure you'll really enjoy it. As it turns out, there was a short mic discussion in this group almost exactly 3 years ago: Icom mics are reported to work well. Some may require a plug adapter from 8-pin to modular. 73, -Ed- AB8OJ

Bill: The FDM-DUO Blows away the KX2. The receiver is FAR superior. A friend who has the DUO compared in a “ shoot-out “ w/the KX2. Portability? SUPER! It will run on 9.5 - 16.0 vdc. The RX works SUPER on CW. It will copy code AND filter down to 100 Hz with Ø ringing. At 100 Hz it has 4 pre-set filter positions. You can run up to 8 w. The final transistors are 30w ea., and run in push/pull. It also has 3 modes of keeping the finals cool. Massive heat sink on final transistors. Fan that runs 100% of the time ( tiny.. but POWERFUL! ) And the heat sink under the finals dissipate heat. I can’t remember what the material it is, but it absorbs heat. All in all..the FDM-DUO is just as good as it gets. I love mine! Her it is w/the ART-120 amp + 15w ( RMS ) spkr w/built in equalizer. Questions? Just give me a call. I’ve assisted at 6 Dayton Hamventions, 4 Huntsville Hamfests, and 5 Orlando HAMCATIONS. I work w/Franco.. the CEO of ELAD. I’m not a paid employee, but a highly-underpaid volunteer. I believe in ELAD. Give me a call at 1.404.229.3365 whenever you have a question. I don’t know everything.. but I believe I can assist you. Please do not get the KX2. You’ll be disappointed. I’m not knocking ELECRAFT, as I own a K3, and have won 2- plaques for the GA QSO PARTY. 2018 + this year.

Re: Duoart Feet
Vianney Colombat
I give some information about DUO-ART feet. There are OLD and NEW feet, see the image below. OLD feet are made of
plastic, both the base and the foot.
For NEW feet, which
are recently mounted on DUO-ART that go out the factory,
the base is made of aluminum and the
foot is made of plastic. There is also a grommet
on the base for when the foot is folded.
Aspects that make NEW feet stronger are the shape of the foot, the amount of plastic used and the fact that a metal shaft is used to attach the foot to the base.  The spare part we
provide for OLD feet is only the foot.
We don't provide NEW
feet (base+foot) as spare part. The reason is the base
substitution is not easy to do. However we
offer the replacement service of OLD feet with NEW feet at a
cost of 60 euros (shipping costs not included).

Re: Duoart Feet
It would be nice if they could come up with a retro-fit with a tilt bail as a substitute for the plastic feet on all units (FDM-DUO, Speaker and DUO ART).

Re: Duoart Feet
Does the foot break or the plastic mounting frame attached to the bottom of the radio? I think it would be pretty easy to make a 3D foot, but that would probably not eliminate the breaking problem. I could probably turn out some aluminum feet on my lathe. They would not break but would probably add several dollars to the cost of the radio. 73 Clint W7KEC

Happened to me as well. Broke on the DUO-ART 120. Ordered two replacement sets off the Italian website. Bit pricey with the postage but arrived real quick.
