That is something I have yet to try on the K2. I find this tread interesting
as I have get to get a "great" audio report on my K2.
Right off the bat I bought a MD2 mike in a boom. I recently bought a new
Pro III and a Heil PR780 (developed for the Icom-originally) and I can
hardly make a contact without someone asking about my audio and microphone.
The reports are outstanding.
I moved the PR780 over to the k2 and was told he audio is much improved over
the MD2 but its no where near the Pro III.
I assumed this to be typical of the K2 as this is my second one (both late
serial) and both had similar audio. Not bad by any means, but no one has
said..... You sound great, what are you using !
I have a 705 and might give it a try. If it works I would have to steal the
element and put it in something else. I just cant stand the plastic feel of
the TT mike ! Although for me they have worked the best on the multitude of
TT rigs I have owned.

I thought this is really cool, that someone would make this
recommendation on elecraft reflector.
(and you guys complain about TT mikes, Ha!) smile

Hi
I use a TenTec 701 hand mike. It is a little smaller than the MH2
and comes
with a 4 pin connector so you will need to go to Radio Shack and get
an 8
pin connector and install it in place of the 4 pin. The interface is
the
same as the MH2 with the 5.6k resistor for bias required. Works good
and is
inexpensive ($28)
