[Elecraft] K2 + Leeson Table Mic!

[Steve Carey]

Hi All,

I have now had a dozen or so contacts on my K2. So-far-so-good! All reports
are that the Heil MH-2 Hand Mic is the best thing since sliced bread!
However, with only 10+ watts, under noisy, QSB, QRM conditions, reports on
my Leeson Table mic or more favorable! ( Has less bass and higher O/P at
HF ). I don't know much about this microphone except it was used by a CB'er.
He is " smarter-than-the-average-CB'er "  (works in electronics ) but all he
could tell me abt the mic is that it has a ceramic insert with an internal
pre-amp ( PP3 batery in the base ). Picture:
http://www.skylites.freeserve.co.uk/leeson.htm Are Leeson still made? Do
they have a website? I paid $5 for this one in as new condition.and having
heard a recording, it obviously matches the K2 well because it sounds
fantastic! They are often available on UK-eBay.
