[Elecraft] Kenwood Mc-60 mic with K2

[Joe Subich, W4TV]

Was it an MC-60 or an MC-60A?  The MC-60 is a straight dynamic
mic while the MC-60A included a preamplifier circuit in the base.

1) make sure your K2 is not set up with bias (no 5.6K resistor
    on the P1).
2) make sure the preamplifier is *bypassed* (switch "OUT") in the
    base of the MC-60A.

Finally, make sure the cable is wired for Kenwood and has not been
rewired for some other transceiver.  The MC-60/60A was a good mic
and has been used with a lot of other transceivers by replacing
the cable from the base to the rig with one wired appropriately.

73,
