[Elecraft] K2 microphone options

[Bernie Gardner]

Greg,

I bought a Handi_Mic for K2 5707 a few months ago.  As Don stated, you need to 
get the electret type, iC version.  I bought the Kenwood cable, wired the K2 
header straight through.  I incorporated a resistor to power the electret 
element in the body of the connector on the cable.  That seemed easier than 
removing the front panel to make the connections on the header.   It's worked 
great with plenty of drive and receives good comments on the air.
