It certainly is possible, but I would wonder why. The K2 has an 
automatic gain control for SSB. So long as you have sufficient audio 
from the mike, you shouldn't need to adjust anything.

The other detriment is that you'd have to wire from the front panel 
board to the SSB board. I'd worry about signals you might pick up on 
the way introducing hum or other distortions.

PS - I'm posting this to the Elecraft reflector, but I doubt it will go 
through. The reflector is using SORBS to block spammers, who has 
decided that all of BellSouth.net is a spam domain.
