[Elecraft] microphone for K2

[Steve Muncy]

I've finally decided after 35 years in ham radio that this single 
sideband (SSB) thing may be catching on. Don't  get me wrong. I've had 
a microphone or two during that period of time, but I just haven't used 
it since my Vibroplex paddle works so well. Doing my part to keep 
Elecraft people employed, I purchased and installed the SSB adapter 
along with the HM2 microphone -- then tried it out and boxed up the MH2 
in the closet in case I needed it.

Last week I  decided to  give SSB a shot thinking I need  to explore 
this new phase of the hobby. Evidently the MH2 works well (I've 
received good  reports),  but I think I'd like a desk microphone rather 
than a hand mike --  although I plan to keep the MH2.

Now the question..... is anyone using the Heil MH-10 microphone with 
the K2? Does it work well? Does  the MH-10 (with Kenwood adapter) plug 
in to replace the MH2,  or will I need to play with jumper  blocks and 
resistors. Will I have to decide between a MH-10 OR the MH2, or can 
both be interchanged?

OR, should I look  at another microphone  (or just save my money for 
the next Elecraft toy and stick with the paddles?)
