[Elecraft] D-104, only slightly OT

[w2bvh]

I've been using the setup you describe with a K-2 for about 10 years 
without problems. In fact I've gotten a few unsolicited compliments on 
audio over the years. Mine is wired just like David Pratt described.  I 
have the K-2 set for SSBA-1 (attenuator in) and the mic gain pot about 
half way up. I just turn up the pot until  1 ALC  led blinks a bit on 
voice peaks.

To test, hook it up and ask a friend how it sounds!
