Ken,

That will work OK -- BUT only if your K2 microphone configuration header 
is wired for either the Elecraft (without the bias resistor) or the 
Kenwood mic pinout.

If you built the K2, you should know how it is plugged, but if you 
bought it used, check it.

If the bias resistor is installed, lift the resistor lead off mic jack 
pin 1.
