Re: [Elecraft] K2 microphone wiring for TenTec 705
Mike: If it's an electret mic, it requires power. Assuming the power is coming from the K2, then it needs the resistor. The 1201 mic kit doesn't come with a connector (I just checked), so you are free to wire it any way you want, after you buy the proper connector. Just make sure the K2 is configured the same way you decide to wire the mic. If the K2 is your only radio and the 1201 is your only mic, any random configuration would work, but it makes a lot more sense to wire both to some standard, usually ICOM or Kenwood. 73's, John AA0VE Mike Geddes wrote: Greetings Elecrafters.

I liked the looks of it and understand these mikes work pretty well with the K2. My questions: Does it connect to P1 using the ICOM configuration? Does it require the resistor? 73, Mike N4JX ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list. Subscriber Info (Addr.

Re: [Elecraft] K2 microphone wiring for TenTec 705
Mike, I briefly had my hands on a TenTec 705 microphone. It had a battery in the base which causes me to believe that the electret element is powered from the battery. In any case, a review of the schematic should reveal how the various connections (AF, PTT, 5v, ground, etc) are routed to which color wire. I did not find a schematic at the TenTec website. Wire the 8 pin plug to any configuration that you want. If you have other mics in the shack, make them all the same, but if this is your only mic, then I recommend the Elecraft wiring configuration with Icom and Kenwood as secondary choices. The KSB2 manual covers all the common mic plug wiring schemes. I have not seen additional information published. BTW, that TenTec 705 was a great sounding mic. 73, Don W3FPR Mike Geddes wrote: Greetings Elecrafters. I have ordered a TenTec Model 1201 microphone kit for SSB use with my K2.

Also, is there a location on the Elecraft web site that shows microphone connection configurations beyond those listed in the KSB2 manual? The manual kind of alluded to that, but I could not find anything on the web site. As usual, thanks for any information and assistance you can provide. 73, Mike N4JX K1/4 2319 on the air K2 6042 on the air ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

Hi, I found the scematic of the TenTec 705, seems to me it needs the battery. Look at this url under accessoiries: http://www.qsl.net/tentec/. 73, Gerard PA1GP - Original Message - From: Don Wilhelm [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Mike Geddes [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: Elecraft elecraft@mailman.qth.net Sent: Sunday, April 15, 2007 3:40 PM Subject: Re: [Elecraft] K2 microphone wiring for TenTec 705 Mike, I briefly had my hands on a TenTec 705 microphone.
