[Elecraft] Computer-Headset on K2

[Holger Doerschel]

Hello,

normally I use a Heil Pro-Set with IC-4 and the red Kenwood-adapter for 
my K2 and for my K3 , too.  Now I decided to buy a cheaper headset for 
my K2 which I do not use very often.

I bought a computer-headset which has a modified connector and it should 
be ready for kenwood-rig-operation 
(http://www.eurofrequence.de/mikrofone/page2.html ED 5 sw). The 
microphone is an electrical one, so I settet the jumper 5 on the 
frontpanel of my K2. I didn't solder a 5.6kohm resistor between pin1 and 
6 of the connector because I will solder it at the headset-connector and 
not on the frontpanel.

If I connect the new headset the K2 freezes and ELEC is shown on the 
display. Note: the resisior has not been soldered yet. If I remove the 
jumper and conect my Heil Proset it works fine.

Any hints?
