Thanks for the information all.
So...
I guess hooking up a D104 straight to K2 is not going to work out so
well. Yes I know this is like putting tail fins on a Ford Taurus, but
the kids really dig talking into a mic like that during times we promote
ham radio.
The D104 with my old Kenwood TS-520 still receives great audio reports
and I would like to continue that tradition in some way with new gear.
Crazy?

John and all,
You are correct that 'Heil Proset' by itself does not adequately
describe the microphone. As is the case with all Heil mics, one must
also be specific about the mic element used.
The K2 works best with an electret element because they have higher
output levels. The K3 FAQ pages indicate that it has adequate mic
gain to handle the lower output Heil HC4 and HC5 elements.
The Heil Proset K2 can be used with either the K2 or the K3, and it
comes with the Elecraft adapter.

John and Charles:
The Heil Prosets with the HC-4 or HC-5 elements don't have quite
enough output to drive the K2 without either an external preamp or
tweaking of the K2's internal circuitry. The version with the
electret element seems to work better with the K2. I believe the
Heil K2 Proset is essentially the version with the electret element,
but I'm not 100% certain on that matter.
All Prosets require an adapter to match your particular mic jack
configuration, so that is not a factor.
No idea about the K3.
