I have been reading about the different microphones used by fellow K2 owners. A fellow ham encouraged me to try a vantage, (1960s) D-104 crystal mic for the K2. I had been using a Kenwood MC-48B and it was working OK. I knew that the straight D-104 mic would not work with the K2 as crystal mics are hi Z and the modern solid state Mic inputs are low Z. One model of D-104 however has an amp in it's base and it works fine. I get better signals quality report with the D-104 then my previous mic. I don't mind that the mic towers almost a foot over my K2 as I have big hands anyway. Just another Idea.
