[Elecraft] K2 microphone wiring for TenTec 705

[John R. Lonigro]

Mike:
If it's an electret mic, it requires power.  Assuming the power is 
coming from the K2, then it needs the resistor.  The 1201 mic kit 
doesn't come with a connector (I just checked), so you are free to wire 
it any way you want, after you buy the proper connector.  Just make sure 
the K2 is configured the same way you decide to wire the mic.  If the K2 
is your only radio and the 1201 is your only mic, any random 
configuration would work, but it makes a lot more sense to wire both to 
some standard, usually ICOM or Kenwood.
