[Elecraft] K2 Microphones

[Nick]

Wayne,

The Shure 444 has a high impedance. This works great with an old valve TX (I
use one with my Drake T-4XC), but not with the K2 or another modern rig.
Try a small audio transformer.

Gang,
    Just put the SSB board in my K2 [S/N 4858].  I have tried my Shure 444 
with the K2 and seem to have no drive.  I think I will try a portable 
telephone headset.  I will need to get some bias for the mike from the K2 
then I'll find out if I have a problem with the SSB board or my old trusty 
444.
    Would like to hear from those who have used cheap/nonstandard 
microphones with the K2.
