Ben,

The MH2 that I have makes hot connections only to pins 1 and 2 and ground on pins 7 and 8, so you can use any of pins 3, 4, 5, or 6. If you have wired the resistor to mic jack pins 6 and 1, then pin 6 is not usable unless you modify the 5 volt take-off point on the front panel board.

So the short answer is: In a normal K2 wired for the Elecraft MH2, you can freely use mic jack pins 3, 4, and 5 (remember to remove the jumpers for those pins from the mic configuration header so you don't feed anything back into the K2 circuits).

I have an MH-2 microphone for use with my K2.  I can't
find the paperwork that originally came with it.

I am wanting to use 2 pins on the mic connector for
fixed level and variable level receive audio.  Was
thinking of two of pins 3, 4 or 5, but I wanted to
make sure before I did it that hooking the MH-2 to the
connector with signals on any of these 3 pins would
damage the MH-2 any way.  Any help would be
appreciated.
