[Elecraft] microKeyer with K2/100

If you look in the box your cable came in you should find a female  
stereo 1/8 plug and about 12 inches of black shielded audio cable. I  
used a three pin Moldex style jack at J5 (same style as the frequency  
counter but with three pins) and then used a matching plug on the  
shielded wire.

As far as the mike goes microHam are quite adamant that use only  
those mikes with that cable.

I have not been able to get enough info yet to figure a way to use  
other mikes. I think the problem is that they have to assume that the  
Mic configuration header is done one way and they picked Elecraft/ 
Heil format as the most common. I am presently comparing the diagrams  
for the Kenwood cables sets and building a test cable to use a  
Kenwood desk mic.  If I have success with the test cable I will pass  
the info on.

If you make any progress let us know please.
