John,
If your D104 is an older one with the high impedance crystal or ceramic
element, yes it will not work so well (if at all).
There was an article in QST about a year ago with a circuit design that
had a very high impedance input and the low impedance output required by
modern day radios, although a transformer with the right ratio should
work too.
Another alternative is to change the element in the D104. Heil offers a
kit to do just that - check www.heilsound.com for info.
My D104 with an HC5 element draws comments from time to time.
73,

Thanks for the information all.
So...
I guess hooking up a D104 straight to K2 is not going to work out so
well. Yes I know this is like putting tail fins on a Ford Taurus, but
the kids really dig talking into a mic like that during times we
promote ham radio.
