[Elecraft] Mic Gain, K2/100

[Richard Kent]

I have been using a Kenwood MC80 with my K2. I use batteries, but I have
been told that the mic. will power with 5 volts. The mic. does have a
gain/level control that can be used to dial in the right level.

I should also mention that I am getting ALC indication at full power (one 
LED bar only).

So next question...  anyone recommend electret-based mic's (since the 
Elecraft hand version is no longer available)? (I'd like to try that first 
before additonal mods)

I have a wealth of Ten Tec equipment...  one of theirs?

There is also a mod'd mic sold for the FT100 (adds a pre-amp).

Anyone have a  electret-based mic they are haiving good success with?
