[Elecraft] microphone jumpers for Heil Pro Headset?

[Dr. Werner Furlan]

hello all, 

my K2 (no tuner, 10W) is fine on SSB now, I use the Kenwood dynamic 
microphone (600 Ohm) now and it sounds very good. I have purchased a 
Heil Proset together with my K2 kit, and now I'd like to connect it to the K2. I 
have a Heil Kenwood adapter from former times when I connect the 
headset, there is no modulation from the Headset Microphone. I think it is a 
condensor Microphone and needs a phantom voltage for proper function. 
Which resistor value between Pin 6 and Pin 1 do you recommend for this 
microphone?
Is there a special adapter to connect the Proset to the K2 or can I savely use 
the old Kenwood adapter cable?

Another question: when I watch the ALC meter I get the less ALC lights the 
higher the band. With 10m there is most of the time no ALC LED at all, or 
only 1 section is lighting. Is this normal?
FYI I made the qrpproject SSB modification in my K2 #5203 for better 
modulation and higher output.
