[Elecraft] K3 Mic MH2 on K2

[Bernard Gaffney, N8PVZ/QRP]

Don,

  thanks for the reply. I may not have been clear in
my original Post, but what I want to do is have the
mics be interchangeable; i.e., be able to use either
mic on either rig, not just on a specific rig. Sounds
like that may not be possble, based on your reply?
