[Elecraft] MH4 Mic on a K2?

[Dave Van Wallaghen]

Hi Charles,

Bias for the MH4 (and previous MH2) mic is provided by placing a 5.6k 
resistor between pin 1 and 6 on the mic connector of the K2.

Most of us just solder the resistor to those pins on the back of the mic 
connector on the Front Panel Board. My MH4 came with a small envelope that 
contained a 5.6k resistor and 8 2-pin jumpers for the mic config header. 
The UP and DN buttons on the MH4 switch between  VFO A and VFO B on the K2. 
It switches bands on the K3, KX3 and KX2.
