[Elecraft] K2 microphone advice

[Darwin, Keith]

Thanks guys for the info.

As a pseudo-semi-pro musician, I have some audio processing gear to put
between the mic and the rig.  Mixing board, full parametric EQ,
compressor.  Using the EQ, I can dial in the amount of bandwidth I want
but it is for naught if the rig is filtering it out.  I prefer a wide
open rig (2.8 KHz or so) which allows me to widen the signal for strong
signal rag chews and narrow it for DX, Contests, QRP, etc.

It's funny, really, the gear for the audio path is larger than the rig
itself :-)

73!

Keith,

The current production K2s have a SSB filter bandwidth of 2.4 kHz - that
can be easily changed to a 2.6 kHz width by changing the capacitor
values (most easily done before the crystals are mounted) - Elecraft has
a kit with the proper value capacitors.
