All of the rigs I purchased way back when never came with microphones
(Drake, Heathkits, Kenwood). In more recent history I owned an Icom
735, which was featured as a mobile type rig (although mine, like most,
were used as a base station) and I suppose that is why it came with a
hand mic. Of course my 2 meter mobile rigs came with hand mics also. I
dug around and found a July 1981ad for an Argosy - it doesn't mention
anything about a mic,and doesn't show one in the picture, so I assume it
didn't come with one(?). Another catalog I have, from around 1989/1990
(I believe), shows the Paragon, the Delta II, and the Argonaut II in it,
and it doesn't show any of the rigs as coming with a mic. A small photo
of a 705 desk mic is at the bottom of the Argonaut II page, and next to
it says ...MICROPHONES FOR USE WITH ANY MODEL WITH A 4-PIN MIC CONNECTOR"
, then below it says: 700C Hand mic, electret.,... etc., then: 705 Desk
mic, electret...etc. So I think both the hand mic and desk mic were
extra-cost accessories, at least that year.
