[Elecraft] K2/handmic/headset (new K2 buyer)

[Bill NY9H]

You CAN wire your K2 as an ICOM,,,, even putting the speaker audio on pin 
8, as Icom does for their headset.  I did, and use my Icom mikes and icom 
headsets, as well as great sounding cheapo computer heasdsets wired as icom....
  I can usually find someone selling an Icom headset with the push to talk 
hand control....for 15-25 $$. already wired for MY k2.( as well as my icoms)
