mounted in the rounded side of the head down near the plug assembly. A

Lou,
It is likely that you can simply parallel the devices (connect to the K2 DOT
input) and set the K2 for 'INP Hand', as long as one device does not
interfere with any of the others.
Before attempting it, do check for the presence of voltage from each device
to be connected. If you have a

Lou
If both your keyer and your keyboard produce simple closures
to ground for keying, you should be able to connect them in
parallel.
If there is a problem due to something in the output circuits, you
could just diode OR them and do fine.
Good luck and 73

I have had a D-104 in use for many years and I got to thinking that 104 mic
has lots of room for both HC-4 and HC-5 elements along with a spdt switch.
I might even build the preamp that was just mentioned in another thread. I
don't want to alter my good working mic so I am looking for one that d

Ian,
The mic-preamp works very well. I built one for my IC-765 which needed some
extra help using the HC-5. I do not use SSB very much with the K2, but I did
notice you have to yell pretty loud using the HC-5 with the K2. The mods do
work also, but the little amp works great too.

I do it all the time and have (so far) seen nothing to indicate such a problem.

Hi Ian,
Check http://www.qsl.net/la3za/K2/modAny.html where all official and
unofficial K2 mods are listed.
The Heil mic elements do not offer enough drive and you´re about 6-10 db

a simple mod you can make for using
Hello Ian,
I have used a Heil HC-5 element from the very beginning with my K2, and
have always found that I needed to shout into it in order for it to work
satisfactorily. However, that same microphone, a Heil HM-10, worked very
well with my '746PRO.
In my case, I found that the levels were

I have the two cal cables from one of the former owners, and will attend to

Hi all,
I am currently using my K2 with a Heil HC-5 insert to good effect on
DX. I was wondering though if I should build a little pre-amp for the
mic? I notice there is a circuit on the website and I wondered if I
would gain anything from building it? I don't want to put too much into
the K2 fr
