[Elecraft] kenwood mic

[Don Wilhelm]

John,

The pinout and the microphone configuration header information is in the 
KSB2 manual (download it from the Elecraft website if you do not have a 
copy).

The Kenwood pinout is almost the same as the Elecraft pinout *except* 
for pins 5 and 6 which are interchanged between the two.  A Kenwood 
dynamic microphone normally does not use pins 5 and 6, but if you have 
an amplified Kenwood microphone, then it is highly likely that the mic 
expects to have voltage (+5 to +8 volts) on pin 5.

I looked at the Heil website and could not find an MH-1 microphone.  Was 
that a typo and you really meant the Elecraft MH2 microphone that was 
manufactured by Heil - turn it over and read the back label - those 
microphones had the Heil label on the front and has confused many people.

For a good resource on microphone pinouts, look at the list compiled by 
G4WVW at http://www.timroberts-vk4yeh.id.au/G4WPW_mic_connections/index.htm.
