Roy,

The Elecraft MD2 microphone has an electret element.  I don't know about
your Unknown brand MD-2 microphone.  There are no dashes in Elecraft product
designations (other than the N-Gen and 2T-Gen mini modules).

If you really meant the Elecraft MD2, then you have a problem with your
W2IHY setup - iot apparently does no provide for bias for the electret
element.  Too bad because W2IHY does offer an electret element that is
supposed to be better than the Heil HC4/5 elements, and those elements do
need bias voltage to operate properly.

73,
Don W3FPR
