I took advantage of the reduced prices and ordered the MD-2 and CB-1 microphone and base for my K2. They arrived and certainly look and feel very nice, but no surprises there.
I have a couple of questions, anyone can be of help with them, I appreciate hearing from you: 1) I also have the Elecraft/Heil hand mic and was able to install the 5.6k resistor into the mic plug, rather than into the K2. This worked out fine and now I can use other mics and data sources (I use a RigBlaster for psk31)with the K2. Has anyone tried to put the 5.6k resistor into the plug of the MD-2 and is their anything special I should know? 2) I seem to have an 'extra' part that came with the order. It is a piece of metal about 3/4 inch long, threaded with standard screwdrivers slots at each end. It's not immediately obvious to me were this goes. (And I forget if it came with the microphone or the base.) 3) I really like the idea the there is a the jack for a footswitch. Does anyone have a source where I can pick up a switch? 4) Also, along the same lines as the footswitch, is there an 'always on' position on the PTT switch on the mic ?(I haven't actually used the mic yet because I haven't yet installed the resistor). Thanks for your help and have a nice holiday season, Tom McCulloch WB2QDG k2 1103 _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
