Dick, According to the microphone information at the G4WPW website http://www.timroberts-vk4yeh.id.au/G4WPW_mic_connections/index.htm Any of those microphones are usable. The 'bias' resistor for the SM5 is shown as 1k to + 9 volts, but the K2 provides only +5 volts. You might try 1k to the +5 volt supply as starters and experiment with different values until you find what works best.
