For the 15 or so years that I have used my K2 the mic I used was an Adonis AM-308, a Kenwood-compatible desk mic. It gave me good service but failed recently, and is no longer available. It was replaced with the Alinco EMS-14 desk mic which appears to be a re-branded AM-308 (to the point where the pc board in the mic base carries the "AM-308" label). The cable pin-out on the 8-pin "Foster" connector is identical. The only difference appears to be that the Adonis mic used two AA batteries while the Alinco mic draws its power from the rig's +V on the mic connector.
It should be plug-and-play compatible using the cables that worked with the Adonis mic but unfortunately the mic does not activate the K2. Does anyone have any experience using the Alinco EMS-14 mic? 73 de K2ASP - Phil Kane Elecraft K2/100 s/n 5402 >From a Clearing in the Silicon Forest Beaverton (Washington County) Oregon ______________________________________________________________ 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 Message delivered to [email protected]
