[TenTec] [Fwd: Re: [Elecraft] K2 microphone advice]

[Phil LaMarche]

Rich,

I also have the PRO3 and K2/MD2.  Have a Heil PR40 but didn't put it on the
K2.  Have it on the PRO3 and KWM2A.  When you have a K2 solution, let me
know because no matter how well it is adjusted, it sucks on SSB.  I rarely
use the K2 on SSB, but if I take it on vacation, would like it to sound
good.

That is something I have yet to try on the K2. I find this tread interesting
as I have get to get a "great" audio report on my K2.

Right off the bat I bought a MD2 mike in a boom.  I recently bought a new
Pro III and a Heil PR780 (developed for the Icom-originally) and I can
hardly make a contact without someone asking about my audio and microphone. 
The reports are outstanding.

I moved the PR780 over to the k2 and was told he audio is much improved over
the MD2 but its no where near the Pro III.

I assumed this to be typical of the K2 as this is my second one (both late
serial) and both had similar audio. Not bad by any means, but no one has
said..... You sound great, what are you using !

I have a 705 and might give it a try. If it works I would have to steal the
element and put it in something else. I just cant stand the plastic feel of
the TT mike !  Although for me they have worked the best on the multitude of
TT rigs I have owned.
