I've had an original MH2 with my first K2, but didn't like the large size, thick stiff cord and hard to push PTT button. Sold it with that K2. Selling the K2 was a big mistake, so I ended up buying another. On this one I have the Kenwood MC-43S. The mic size and PTT buttons are better suited to me, but I still find the mic cord to be too thick. To me the best mic physically would be the mic that came with the Kenwood TR-2200A and TR-2200GIIA back in the late 1970's. It was quite small and light, and had a microswitch action PTT switch and a light cord. I think it is part number T91-0010-15, but may be T91-0033-15. I have no idea of what the audio quality would be like or even if the impedance would match.

My boss at that time had one of those and I really liked it.
