## Discrepancy

WHILE ENROUTE TO A SCENE, SMELLED & WITNESSED SMOKE COMING FROM THE PILOTS AUDIO PANEL LOCATION.  THE ICS WAS INOPERABLE, HOWEVER HE COULD STILL TRANSMIT ON THE VHF RADIOS.  ABORTED THE MISSION & LANDED AT THE NEAREST AIRPORT WHICH WAS ONLY 5 MINUTES AWAY.  INSPECTED THE ACFT & CONFIRMED THE PILOTS AUDIO PANEL TO BE THE FAULT.  A REPLACEMENT WAS RECEIVED & INSTALLED.  THE PILOTS ICS & ACFT WERE THEN RETURNED TO SERVICE.
