[Elecraft] MH2 Microphone Issue

[Mike]

Well durn! I saw that kit, but it didn't say which element it was. 
There's no way to order from their website either AFAICT. I needed some 
of the foam pads that go inside the Pro-Set ear muffs, and had to do a 
phone order. I now have the CM-500 on the K3 and the Pr0-Set on the 
backup PRO II.

So the real downside of dealing with Elecraft is we can so easily get 
used to great customer service. :-P
