[Elecraft] Heil Handi Mic

[Eric Swartz - WA6HHQ, Elecraft]

Hi Bob,

The Heil iC elements work perfectly with the K2. They use the same 
element that we used in the MH2.

(As a side note: The Heil HC4 and HC5 elements put out about 8 dB less 
than the industry standard used by almost all other ham radio 
manufacturers, hence the low gain reports in some instances.)

If you want to use the standard Elecraft 8 pin mic connector set up, 
which allows you to jumper straight across on our mic configuration 
header, you will want to request the Kenwood style cable from them.

I'll give Heil a call and request that they re-title the ic microphones 
as compatible with Elecraft too :-)
