John,

If you do not purchase and install the Rework Eliminators IMA microphone adapter product, AND you are going to use a mic different from the Elecraft MH2 or Proset, then DO NOT solder anything to the long gold pins of the DIL microphone header. If you do, you will have trouble with the installation of the IMA should you wish to add it at a later date. If you want to look at using different mics, then I would suggest you install the IMA now, as part of the build.

All the best with your project. I have built two K2s, sold one and just finished the KPA100, and have not had so much fun and learning in years. Now suffering withdrawal symptoms - shall just try to take comfort in a less depleted bank account and less ire from the XYL when all these packages stop arriving from Aptos.
