John, The pinout and the microphone configuration header information is in the KSB2 manual (download it from the Elecraft website if you do not have a copy).
The Kenwood pinout is almost the same as the Elecraft pinout *except* for pins 5 and 6 which are interchanged between the two. A Kenwood dynamic microphone normally does not use pins 5 and 6, but if you have an amplified Kenwood microphone, then it is highly likely that the mic expects to have voltage (+5 to +8 volts) on pin 5. I looked at the Heil website and could not find an MH-1 microphone. Was that a typo and you really meant the Elecraft MH2 microphone that was manufactured by Heil - turn it over and read the back label - those microphones had the Heil label on the front and has confused many people. For a good resource on microphone pinouts, look at the list compiled by G4WVW at http://www.timroberts-vk4yeh.id.au/G4WPW_mic_connections/index.htm. 73, Don W3FPR john wrote: > hi everyone, does some have a pinout available for a "kenwood mic" for the > k2?
