[Elecraft] K2 Microphones

[Leon Cluff]

I have a new K2 and bought a "Texas Ranger" non-amplified microphone from a
truck stop (Johnson's Corner on I25 near Loveland, CO) for $17.  I had to
change the connector which I bought from Radio Shack.

This is not where I bought the microphone, but here is a link to the one I
have.  I got the "Replacement Mike".  I didn't think I would need an "Echo
Mike", HI HI.

I have had nothing but good reports on the quality of my audio.  My brother
W7CKW said it sounded good to him and he knows what I sound like.

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.
