[Elecraft] HM-14 Microphone

[Michael Adkins]

I built a K2 recently (first time to send a message to the list)  Serial =
02763 - works great.

I built the SSB option and configured a ICOM HM-14 Microphone to use =
with the K2.  The HM-14 has a touch tone keypad (like the HM-15)

The manual on the SSB Option does not list the HM-14 / HM-15 nor to =
describe the bias resistor to use.  I used a 10K resistor.  Is this =
right or wrong?  I noticed that the SSB manual indicated approx. 800 ohm =
resistor for use with the HM-7. =20

I am concerned that I am not putting out a properly modulated (low =
percent modulation) single on SSB.  I check into a 28.440 Net every =
Sunday here in Northern New Mexico and the folks tell me that I am not =
'moving the needle' but am readable.  Any help would be appreciated.
