I just went to the Heil website and verified the ProSet-Ic has an electret mic. That means you need to do what Don W3FPR suggested. (When in doubt, do what Don suggests! You'll seldom go wrong.)

One more quick question:

I've got the Heil ProSet-Ic with the Icom (blue) adapter from Heil. However, I'm not sure if I need to connect the K2 mic connector pin 2 to the 5V line. In other words, I'm still confused whether this microphone/headset has the preamp in the mike or not.

Thanks a lot for your help. Otherwise, I think that's the last question I should have about the KSB2 and the K60XV is ready to put in, but I think I've got that covered! #5757 is getting nearly fully populated!
...you simply wire your K2 mic configuration header for the Icom
pinout and attach a resistor (5600 ohms is good) from the AF pin to the 5 volt pin on the mic jack - the best location for the resistor is on the back of the mic jack, not the header just because it is easier mechanically. If indeed your adapter is Icom, the resistor goes between pins 1 and 2 on the
mic jack.
