Hi I use a TenTec 701 hand mike. It is a little smaller than the MH2 and comes with a 4 pin connector so you will need to go to Radio Shack and get an 8 pin connector and install it in place of the 4 pin. The interface is the same as the MH2 with the 5.6k resistor for bias required. Works good and is inexpensive ($28)

I have completed K2 #5266 and want to use it on SSB, as well as cw. The MH2 hand mike offered by Elecraft/Heil is no longer available and I don't want to use a head mounted mike with earphones which is the only other alternative through Elecraft/Heil. I admit I'm probably spoiled by the "plug 'n play" hand mikes I've used with previous Kenwood/Icom rigs and I'd really like something like that to use with my K2. If the Elecraft/Heil MH2 were still available I wouldn't be asking for help but it's not. What do others of you use? Also, does it need to be a mike with any special features? The guys in Elecraft support have been great to work with but I thought I'd start here since its after 5pm on the west coast. 73, Cary, K4TM K2 #5266 _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
