I am sorry to disagree, but the MH2 will work fine for both the K2 and K3. They are interchangable. After the repair and configuration of over 1000 K2s, I am quite familiar with the K2 microphone configuration for various microphones. Yes, the K2 mic config header must be jumpered properly

Download the MH2 instructions from Elecraft site and you will see that the mic has different jumper settings for the K3. I’m not sure if an MH2 configured for K2 will work unchanged with K3. The K2 config in the mic has a resistor that is not there for K3. At least that is the way I read it.

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

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

Neil, The resistance is not critical, so if you have a resistor (of any tolerance) between 4.7k and 6.8k on hand use that. Did you have a tan envelope on the package with the 8 jumpers for the microphone configuration header? If so, look very carefully in that envelope, the resistor can get

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 to much bass, it has been slightly modded here to suit.

Steve, Re-check those instructions for the MH2. The resistor goes between pins 1 and 6. Pin 1 is the AF line, and pin 6 is the 5 volt line. You must pipe voltage to the AF line on the mike (through the resistor) to make it produce audio. BTW, pin 2 is the PTT pin. 73, Don W3FPR Stephen
