I put the hand microphone from my Kenwood TS-850S/AT on my K2 and it works fine and I've had good audo reports.
The K2 requires a low impedence microphone and the TS-850S/AT requires a 500 or 600 ohm (can't remember which) impedence microphone. The K2 uses the same 8-pin connector as the Kenwood, so I thought this a good match. I've since purchased a second Kenwood hand microphone, on eBay, so I have one for each radio.

I have tried my Shure 444 with the K2 and seem to have no drive. I think I will try a portable telephone headset. I will need to get some bias for the mike from the K2 then I'll find out if I have a problem with the SSB board or my old trusty 444. Would like to hear from those who have used cheap/nonstandard microphones with the K2.
