Luke, I've found that if I have an audio cable plugged in and connected to a computer, the KX2 thinks there's a mic load and will let you change those settings... provided you are in SSB.
If in DATA mode it will tell you N/A I seem to recall. So just change modes to SSB, change the MIC settings in the menu and change back to DATA with the rig's audio plugged in to your computer's sound inputs and see if that works. I set MIC BIAS to off and MIC BTN to off when using the KX2 for data modes to prevent erroneous PTTs from occurring with the audio cables and sound card... otherwise I've found the radio can get a bit confused, thinking it is in PTT, but not going into TX.
