[Elecraft] K2 and microphones

[Joe Wilkowski]

Well FWIW, I bring out all the straight through wired header pins to the
front 8 pin connector and then plug in  a female 8pin mic cable to DB9
connector and then depending on what I am using mic, data or what have you I
plug in the appropriate device to the female 9 pin plug using the male 9 pin
connector appropriately wired.

Dave,

That is not what I was thinking about, but is also an interesting option. I
was 
thinking about just wiring all the header pins straight through (as if for 
Elecraft mic). Then I would get short adapter cables (2 or 3  inches, with
8- pin plug/jack on the ends) for the front panel connector. The wiring of
the 
adapter would determine the mic. I just thought this is probably not a new 
idea, and maybe such adapters already exist.

Once i settle on a mic I will probably stick with it. But it would be nice
to 
have the option to plug in a couple different types (desktop, headset, hand 
mic).

73,
