[Elecraft] Proset K2 Replace IC with HC-4 ?

[Dick Dievendorff]

If it were my headset I'd leave it as it is.  I'd prefer to have an
unmodified Proset K2 than a one-of-a-kind customer modified headset. I'm not
sure how hard it is to open the part of the microphone that contains the
element and put it back without damage.

If you were buying a used headset from another ham, which would you prefer,
a "stock" unmodified Proset K2, or a "user modified" unit?

I just don't see any reason to do this.  

But it's your Proset, I guess you can do whatever you wish with it.

Dick

Hi all,

I am thinking about replacing the IC Mic in the Proset K2 with a HC-4.
My questing: Can I do this without any aditional things? Just solder out
the IC and solder in the HC-4? Or isn't it that simple? Of course with
no bias then...

However if it is that simple, what do you guys think? Would you
recommend this or is it better to leave the IC with the Proset K2 at the K3?

73!
