Was it an MC-60 or an MC-60A? The MC-60 is a straight dynamic mic while the MC-60A included a preamplifier circuit in the base.
1) make sure your K2 is not set up with bias (no 5.6K resistor on the P1). 2) make sure the preamplifier is *bypassed* (switch "OUT") in the base of the MC-60A. Finally, make sure the cable is wired for Kenwood and has not been rewired for some other transceiver. The MC-60/60A was a good mic and has been used with a lot of other transceivers by replacing the cable from the base to the rig with one wired appropriately. 73, ...

I was recently given an MC-60 mic and I read that the MC-60 was perfectly compatible with the K2, but I plugged it in and it doesn't work, so what should I check for? 73 Steve W1SFR ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
