[Elecraft] Proper connections for Heil Pro-Set?

I recently bought a Heil Pro-Set with the HC-5 microphone element to use
with the K2 for SSB operation.



What does the Heil microphone "appear to be" in terms of the proper
P1 wiring--i.e., which section of table 2 in the K2SB manual should
I use?  The Elecraft MH2, because it's really a Heil microphone?
Or, because the MH2 was specially made for the K2, with a high-output
condenser element, is a different connection appropriate?

Also, the Elecraft website has a design for an external microphone
amplifier for the *HC-4* Heil element--does this also apply to the
HC-5 element?  That is, *must* I have this amp to use the Pro-Set?

I currently have the K2 microphone configuration block wired for an
ICOM HM-12 microphone, and I'm hopeful that the Heil will work without
rewiring, but the evidence I've seen indicates otherwise.

Any thoughts?
