When I decided I wanted to try SSB with the K2, I realized I no longer had a 
mike....so, I took the rig and the docs to the last local ham radio dealer in 
the area.  The owner was a yong man who had the bad luck of having me administer 
his novice test some years ago.

I asked him if he'd try and find a mike that worked with the K2.  When I got 
back, he gave me a cassete tape, a player and a set of headphones....told me
to listen and pick the sound that I liked the best, since he had tried several 
mikes....ranging from some high-end stuff to some down and dirty generic, Hey 
you lost your mike Good Buddie, I got one that works with anything.

I picked, by the sound of his voice on the tape, the best sounding mike....and
when I had, he asked me for 3.95 for the mike.

I went home and that evening checked into a Maryland net that I hadn't been in 
over 30 years.....and some of my old budsasked if I was using my TR7 (g).
