Michael, The receive audio on the IC-80 is much worse than either the IC-91 or IC-92. On the other hand the transmit audio is very clear. Icom missed the boat on the IC-80's receive audio so I would recommend an external speaker/mic when using it.

I don't have an 80, but I do have a 91 and a 92 and they both suffer the same audio quality issue you're describing. I don't have the speaker mic for the 91, but I do have the GPS mic for my 92 and I have to say the audio quality improvement is amazing. The 80 GPS mic appears to have the same head as the 92 and just a different connector, so I would expect similarly improved performance over the built in mic on that radio as well. -Mike J.
