[Elecraft] David Clark headsets

Wed Mar 6 11:21:02 2002

Aviation mikes simulate a carbon mike, which requires a bias current. 
 I do not know if the K2 supplies a bias current.  With some 
experimentation, you should be able to get it to work.  However, you 
will need to supply a bias current (5 ma at 6v?) and the output might 
be a higher level than the norm.
