[Elecraft] MH2 Microphone Issue

[David Herring, K6DCH]

Jeff

The button on my MH2 is certainly stiff.  But mine seems to be a bit  
more forgiving in the PTT department than you've described yours to  
be.  I don't have to remain totally clamped down on it for the rig to  
stay in transmit mode.

I've never opened it, but perhaps there's a means to adjust it inside?
