As I am planning on still being able to use a Yaesu BM-10 headset with my 
K2 in place of or in addition to the MH2 mic, I added the resistor inside 
the MH2 connector instead of putting it inside the K2 itself. Makes it 
easier to switch mics without worrying what problems (if any) might be 
caused by putting 5V into the HC-5 element in the BM-10.



Cheers!
