And O3 is not a mic - it's a head with an integrated mic. So as long as you have the hardware to support dual heads, I believe that is supported.

Ask Panter88 what firmware his head has. Then look up the topic that shows which O5 firmware is compatible with which radio firmware.

You can NOT use an O3 and O5 head on the same radio at the same time.

There is no need to reprogram. The codeplug contains the info for both head, take a look. Just plug one or the other in.
