[Elecraft] K2 Mic hookup

[Edward R. Cole]

Bill,

I have a MH-31 mic with the RJ45 plug and wanted to use it with my 
Yaesu FT-847 that requires a 8-pin jack.  I bought a RJ45 jack in a 
wall outlet plate, wired the 8-pin jack to the outlet and plug the 
mic into the jack.  I mounted the wall plate onto plastic outlet box 
made for attaching to a wall surface.  Got the parts at a local 
builder's supply (except the 8-pin mic jack).  The MH-31 came with my FT-817.

My Heil mic was bought for the FT-847 but now is used on the K3.

Have a Yaesu MH-31 mike with the RJ45 connector on it. Was going to 
cut it off and install the 8 pin connector from Radio Shack, P/N 
274-025, till I read some posts on this list about the problems 
soldering to the mike cable.
So, was wondering if anyone knows of a female RJ45 socket, or Jack, 
that I can get to make up a short adapter cable so I can plug my 
MH-31 into it and that into the 8 pin connector on the K2?
Thanks for any help,
73, Bill, k6mgo
