Thanks to all for the replies to my K2 microphone question. I have a
much better idea what my options are now. I am leaning toward a Heil
iCM or Handi_Mic (electret), but considering the TenTec 701. I imagine
that the new MH2 would be ideal, but I hope to finish my K2 by the end
of May, and don't know if I could bear the wait (for its release).
73,

Greg,
I bought a Handi_Mic for K2 5707 a few months ago. As Don stated, you
need to
get the electret type, iC version. I bought the Kenwood cable, wired
the K2
header straight through. I incorporated a resistor to power the
electret
element in the body of the connector on the cable. That seemed easier
than
removing the front panel to make the connections on the header. It's
worked
great with plenty of drive and receives good comments on the air.

Hi all,
I am in the process of building K2 #6001 and need to start thinking
about a microphone. I've looked over the Reflector archives, and it
seems that there are lot of little mods needed for a variety of
microphones. The simplest solution would be a MH2, but I don't know
that I can wait until the June 15 production date. Question is, can I
not just jumper my K2 for Kenwood, buy a Heil HM-10 or Handi_Mic, and
plug-n-play (without any internal K2 mods)? I will get a Pro Set
someday, but I just want a decent little microphone to get me started.
Any suggestions?
Thanks and 73,
Greg
