Well, perseverance pays, sometimes.I realize this mic probably came from China, but... the connections to the end of the cable, in the mic housing, weren't well handled. The connection of the black wire to the shield was made so near the end of the outer jacket that overheating other wires was

And a Mea Culpa from me. I have a MH2 that I use very infrequently with my K2 and it works well. When the question was asked, I noted the instructions were different for the K3 but failed to read them carefully. I should have tried my MH2 on my K3 before offering advice. I have only a casual

I am sorry to disagree, but the MH2 will work fine for both the K2 and K3. They are interchangable. After the repair and configuration of over 1000 K2s, I am quite familiar with the K2 microphone configuration for various microphones. Yes, the K2 mic config header must be jumpered properly

Re: [Elecraft] MH2 mic and the K3

2021-01-26 Thread Clark Macaulay
Download the MH2 instructions from Elecraft site and you will see that the mic has different jumper settings for the K3. I’m not sure if an MH2 configured for K2 will work unchanged with K3. The K2 config in the mic has a resistor that is not there for K3. At least that is the way I read it.

Kenwood mic does not use bias (it is dynamic). Elecraft requires bias. Measure between pins 1 and 7 to confirm bias (2.2 to 3.3V - industry standard for AV mics). Also check to make sure the microphone is wired correctly - mic ground must be on pin 7, PTT ground must be on pin 8. If the two

The MH2 is an electret mic wired with a Foster plug having Elecraft's Kenwood compatible pin assignments. The microHAM DB37-EL-K3R and DB37-EL-K23 cable sets are configured for the Electaft/Kenwood standard and the supplied Foster to RJ-45 adapter cable allows connecting the MH2 to the rear

Neil, The resistance is not critical, so if you have a resistor (of any tolerance) between 4.7k and 6.8k on hand use that. Did you have a tan envelope on the package with the 8 jumpers for the microphone configuration header? If so, look very carefully in that envelope, the resistor can get

Steve, Re-check those instructions for the MH2. The resistor goes between pins 1 and 6. Pin 1 is the AF line, and pin 6 is the 5 volt line. You must pipe voltage to the AF line on the mike (through the resistor) to make it produce audio. BTW, pin 2 is the PTT pin. 73, Don W3FPR Stephen
