[Elecraft] D-104 Mic

[DDWEBB at aol.com]

I have been reading about the  different microphones used by fellow K2 owners.
A fellow ham encouraged me to  try a vantage, (1960s) D-104 crystal mic for 
the K2. I had been using a Kenwood  MC-48B and it was working OK. I knew that 
the straight D-104 mic would not work  with the K2 as crystal mics are hi Z and 
the modern solid state Mic inputs are  low Z. One model of D-104 however has 
an amp in it's base and it works fine. I  get better signals quality report 
with the D-104 then my previous mic. I don't  mind that the mic towers almost a 
foot over my K2 as I have big hands  anyway.
Just another Idea.
