[Elecraft] Microphone cable problem

[Eric Wosten]

Hi folks,


I use a original Heil Elecraft mike on my K2 and it sounds fine.

Since yesterday I had trouble keying the K2 with the pushbutton on the mike.

So dissasembled it and put a little bit of Deoxit on the switch contacts but
it didn't help.

As it turns out I have a open wire in the mic cable (the black one) and
started to slice the cable a few inches seen from the mike in the direction 
of the spiral.

But still didn't find the spot where it is not OK.

Just wondering if I've got myself a first ?



Oh well,
