[Elecraft] mh2 microphone and kx3

2012-10-22 Thread Gary Slagel
Hi guys,
 
I just traded in my K2 on a shiny new KX3 and saved my old mh2 mike.  What is 
the easiest way to convert my mh2 with the 8 pin connector to use with the 
kx3?  Hopefully a simple adapter?
 
Thanks,

You hit on something that might be a problem. I remember

  Roy,

It may be easier to compare the parts values with those listed in the 
KSB2 parts list.  The schematic is also helpful when doing parts value 
checks.  To me, that certainly is easier than going through a bunch of 
possible mods - they are numerous.

[Elecraft] MH2 Microphone issue

2011-02-25 Thread KA1YMX

I have a K2 with the SSB option installed and I am having issues getting the
MH2 microphone to work. I am currently using a Heil Pro-Set with the K2 and
everything is working fine. I have checked the back of the microphone
connector and everything appears to be connected properly. The 5.6k resistor
is installed between pins 1 and 6 and all of the jumpers are installed. The
PTT button on the MH2 works but my voice is not heard on a separate
receiver. According to my manual I should be able to use the same microphone
settings for the Mh2 and pro-set. Can someone help me out?

Re: [Elecraft] MH2 Microphone issue

2011-02-25 Thread Don Wilhelm
  Do you also have a jumper on pin 6 of the microphone configuration 
header?  You can check quickly by measuring for voltage at pin 6 of the 
microphone jack - it should be about 5 volts.  You can check for proper 
soldering of the bias resistor by measuring for a similar voltage at mic 
jack pin 1.

If your Heil ProSet uses a dynamic element, you may (or may not) be able 
to use it with the bias resistor in place.  If there is no DC blocking 
capacitor, the mic element may sound funny due to the DC current 
through it.  The Elecraft/Heil Proset-K2 uses an electret element, and 
the Heil ProSet-iC (Icom) does too (and those need bias), but as far as 
I know, the others use a dynamic element.

All of the jumpers are installed. I measured the voltage on pins 1 and 6 and
the voltage is approximately 3.1 vdc. I can still use the K2 with the
Pro-Set and it works fine. The MH2 does not work even though the KSB2 manual

The 5v regulator U5 on the control board has an output of 3.0v. I
disconnected the front panel from the control panel and the output is still
around 3.0v. Do you think the lower voltage could affect the operation of
the microphone?

I also noticed there is an update to grounding the microphone jack. Could
the lack of ground some how cause this?

Re: [Elecraft] MH2 Microphone issue

2011-02-25 Thread Don Wilhelm
  The low voltage is probably your problem.  I would think 3 volts is 
too low for the microphone element.
I know 3 volts is too low for proper operation of the microprocessor, 
and since you have not said anything about other strange symptoms, I 
would first check your voltmeter.  Do you read 5 volts or 3 volts at the 
output terminal of RF Board U8 - it should be 5 volts.  If you read 3 
volts at RF U8, try an different voltmeter.

Is the regulator getting quite warm?  If so, you may have a fault on the 
5 volt line somewhere.  If it is not heating up, the most likely reason 
is a bad regulator.

[Elecraft] MH2 Microphone audio quality

2011-02-25 Thread Matt Zilmer
Considering another K3 for mobile and portable use.  My shack contains
K3 #24, using a Heil Goldline on the narrow setting.  This combination
produces very clear and penetrating TX audio.  

K3 mobile use means a handheld mic, which the Goldie is not.   I'm
considering the MH2 (and other handheld mics) for this mobile/portable
ECOM application, but have only heard one MH2/K3 on the air, and that
was without a comparison test (and it was very brief).  I wasn't
underwhelmed, but didn't get enough to go on for a fair evaluation.

Most of my operations right now are with Navy-Marine Corps MARS but I
also work a little SSB on the weekends, and will do more of this when
the mobile is in place.  Like anyone else, I want it to sound as good
as the base rig, if possible.

Doesn't anyone have feedback on the MH2 with the K3?  For example:
- Clarity of the voice, how narrow banded does it sound without TX EQ?
- What is the difference between the Goldie on Narrow and the MH2?
- Any recommended TX EQ settings?
- Has anyone run comparison spectra, using the K3 with MH2 and some
other mobile mic(s)?  Would prefer the RX spectrums if available.

Thanks for ANY feedback!

  Yes, it is possible that your MH2 has a problem.
Did you buy it used?  In that case, someone may have re-wired the

I just purchased a MH2 to use with K2.  I'm getting reports of 5/9 but with 
some distortion or rattle audio with mic gain on 1.
If I try other mics, I get clean audio reports but way down in signal 
strength. The resistor is installed and jumpers there.
A Kenwood dynamic mike wired for K2 gets the best audio quality report, but 
with mic gain on 3, I barely put out any power.
Did I get a bad one or I am I doing something wrong?  What is the ideal 
impedance? I guess you need to use power required
mics only?

Re: [Elecraft] MH2 Microphone audio quality

2011-02-25 Thread Don Wilhelm
  Roy,

With the Elecraft MH2, set the Mic Gain to 1 and the compression as you 
desire, but I like to use 3:1 for normal operation.  Watch the bargraph 
to see an indication of your peak power output - the peaks should be 
somewhere near the power requested level.

I usually find with any microphone on the K2, the compression needs to 
be advanced to obtain the proper leak power output.

Try it with your MH2 and see what the reports are.  Better yet, operate 
into a dully load and couple another receiver with a short wire antenna 
so you have about an S-9 signal - then record the audio output and 
evaluate the results.  Unless you are well acquainted with the operator 
on the other end, on-the-air reports of quality can be taken with a 
grain of salt.

Did you purchase this K2 used, and/or do you know what is inside it?  
What I am asking is if any mods have been made to the KSB2 option, or 
maybe a mic preamp has been installed.  There have been several 
non-Elecraft mods to the KSB2, and some will work with the MH2 
microphone while others could cause distortion.

G'day Matt,
I use my K3 with an MH2 microphone most of the time though for contesting I 
switch over to a Yamaha CM500 headset.
I have found the MH2 to be an excellent mike but you will need to set the TX 
EQ's 3 lowest bands to their lowest level.
Leave all other bands at the 0db point ant you will find that your transmitted 
audio to be pretty well 'spot on'.
Most people I have spoken to with K3's and MH2's use exactly the same settings 
with great results.
(BTW, the same settings also work quite well for the CM500 here too!)
I hope this helps.

[Elecraft] MH2 Microphone PTT button issue

2010-07-04 Thread Tom Boucher
There's an even simpler fix for an aching finger due to a stiff PTT button on 
the MH2 mic - push the XMIT button and push it again when you finish talking.

G'day everyone!

First of all, 
After having given my K3 its first HF hitout this last weekend for our (Myself 
- VK4BOF, Gary - VK4FD  Dale - VK4DMC) mini dxpedition for the World Flora  
Fauna at Undara Lava Tubes National Park in North Queensland, Australia I must 
say that I am more than impressed with my new K3.

It performed flawlessly and was a real pleasure to use, the MH2 microphone is 
however another matter.

Whilst its transmitted audio quality is excellent it appears that you must be a 
400lb gorilla to use the damned thing, the TX button is so stiff to use. :-)

And even when you get the button in, it must be only barely making contact that 
as soon as you relieve any pressure at all from the button, the radio goes back 
to RX mode.

Does anyone else have this issue?

Hi Jeff

The button is a bit mushy lacking a positive action. 

Another problem that I have with the MH2 is its  curly cord. The curly cord is 
so stiff that it pulls the radio if you try and stretch it a bit. It just does 
not have enough stretch, even if pulled a small amount.

I like using a hand mic. What I suggest you do is try and getting an original 
Icom HM36 hand mic. This Icom mic sounds pretty good on the K3. It has a nice 
soft curly cord and the button has a nice positive smooth micro switch click.  
The current model HM36 is junk made in China, try and get an original Japanese 
made HM36 that came with the early Icom radios.  Just make sure you throw the 
Icom radio in the bin and keep the mic!

Hi Paul

What are your mods? Did  you just use a capacitor to roll off the bass?

Someone once told me that the Heil HC5 is sound transducer that was very common 
on PC motherboards. I lost the web link of the manufacturer, which is a pity  
since the HC5 seems to produce good audio on just about every radio that I have 
used. The only problem is that you cant buy the HC5 cartridge anymore.

 The MH2 mic PTT  may be getting caught in the
 rubber surround. It is easy to undo the cover.
 Note that the PTT button only fits one-way, there
 is a cut away slide which fits onto the switch.
 
 For my own use the mic insert had a tad

  Have you asked Heil

Yes.  Heil will no longer sell the bare elements.  One must
purchase a D-104 upgrade kit in order to get the element.  In
addition, Heil will not sell replacement clamshells for the
original Proset mic boom for repair purposes.

In spite of their claims, Heil do not care about customer
service.   The cost to repair a damaged ProSet is more than
replacing it with a Yamaha CM-500 and the ProSet would have
to be shipped to Heil rather than allow the user to make a
relatively simple change of mic element and housing.

Well durn! I saw that kit, but it didn't say which element it was. 
There's no way to order from their website either AFAICT. I needed some 
of the foam pads that go inside the Pro-Set ear muffs, and had to do a 
phone order. I now have the CM-500 on the K3 and the Pr0-Set on the 
backup PRO II.

So the real downside of dealing with Elecraft is we can so easily get 
used to great customer service. :-P

At the suggestion of Ian GM3SEK, I removed the spring under the ptt and cut
a bit off it before stretching back to its original length.  It was a bit
fiddly but not difficult.  Dropped it more than once!

The ptt is now much easier to use but as others have remarked, it has no
positive tactile feedback - it needs a click or similar. A shame, since the
quality of the audio is very good, although my voice prefers the MD2.

The button on my MH2 is certainly stiff.  But mine seems to be a bit  
more forgiving in the PTT department than you've described yours to  
be.  I don't have to remain totally clamped down on it for the rig to  
stay in transmit mode.

I've never opened it, but perhaps there's a means to adjust it inside?

[Elecraft] MH2: microphone

I am sure this has been asked before but I cannot recall there being a 
definite answer.


What is the difference between the MH2 microphone that was sold for the 
K2 (and was withdrawn from sale) and the MH2 now being sold for the K3?


Was the original microphone defective in some way?  Does it now have a 
different insert?  If it is different mechanically, what is the 
difference?

They are virtually identical. Same basic mic element, case etc.

We took over manufacturing this when Heil discontinued his OEM version 
suddenly. Apparently he had purchased a group of excess mics and had 
replaced the dynamic element with the Electret element. (Leaving the 
unused dynamic element unused inside the case.) When he ran out he 
suddenly stopped selling them, so we had to locate the manufacturer of 
the plastic cases and spec our own custom version.


For our MH2, the only changes were to eliminate the unused  dynamic 
element left inside the case by Heil, and to improve the foam mounting 
for the electret element for better mechanical support. Overall the two 
mics sound identical. We've bought a very large quantity of these and 
they will be around for some time. :-)

Re: [Elecraft] MH2 Microphone Discontinued

2005-05-27 Thread Mike Warner

Hello All,
After leaving the Elecraft booth at Dayton with my K2/100/SSB/ATU 
(SN-004935), DL-1, BL-1 in hand with the understanding that the Heil 
hand mic was discontinued, I stopped at the  Heil booth and asked them 
what might work. There I was told that a mic with the Icom element and a 
Kenwood connector will work. Also they confirmed that the MH2 was no 
longer available.


I ended up purchasing a Traveler boomset for Kenwood because I was 
informed that all of the Travelers have Icom elements and only the 
connectors are different. I realize that this doesn't directly address 
the hand mic issue but perhaps it could help with some homebrewing.

PS, As soon I clear a workable area on my bench, construction of the K2 
will begin.

Hi

The TenTec handheld microphone works great with the K2. It comes with a 4 
pin connector that you will need to change to the 8 pin connector for the 
K2. This mike works fine with the 5.6K bias resistor from the 5 volt supply 
to the AF pin, just like the MH2.

I have also used the TenTec desk mike on the K2, however it really needs 8-9 
volts rather than the 5 volts provided by the K2. You can use the internal 9 
volt battery or jumper over to the 8 volt supply in the K2.
