[Elecraft] K2 Microphone

Sat Sep 20 21:06:00 2003

Hi

I have the TenTec desk mike and it works well with the K2. You will need =
to change the plug as it comes a 4 pin to fit TenTec radios. You can use =
the internal 9 volt battery in the base or wire the connector for power =
from the K2. The mike works better with 8-9 volts of power but will work =
with 5 volts from the K2 mike connector. You could pick off 8 volts from =
the RF board for the mike connector. The 8 volt supply is not on the =
front panel board so you would need to kludge a wire from the connector =
to the RF board. The TenTec hand mike will work also and it is a little =
smaller than the Elecraft mike but again you will need to change the =
plug. The desk mike comes as a kit also. After trying all of the above I =
still like the Elecraft mike the best even though all of the TenTec =
mikes work fine

  I have heard some state that the Elecraft MH-1 microphone
  is a simple electret element. If this is true, then I find the
  size of the mic to be extreemly large.

  Does anyone have any suggestions for a desk style microphone
  that would be proportional to the size of the K2.  The Heil is=20
  huge compared to the rig.  I would prefer not to use a=20
  "rice box" mic. Any ideas? Perhaps the TenTec desk mic?
