A "neater and cleaner" solution is to get a RJ-45 jack in a little two-inch-square "biscuit" terminal block used in the data and telephone industry and available at most "serious" electronic dealers. There are two types - one with wire leads from the jack and the other with screw terminals on an enclosed connection block. For your purposes, the latter type would be easier to deal with. -- 73 de K2ASP - Phil Kane Elecraft K2/100 s/n 5402 __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
[Elecraft] K2 Mic hookup
Bill, I have a MH-31 mic with the RJ45 plug and wanted to use it with my Yaesu FT-847 that requires a 8-pin jack. I bought a RJ45 jack in a wall outlet plate, wired the 8-pin jack to the outlet and plug the mic into the jack. I mounted the wall plate onto plastic outlet box made for attaching to a wall surface. Got the parts at a local builder's supply (except the 8-pin mic jack). The MH-31 came with my FT-817. 73, Ed - KL7UW My Heil mic was bought for the FT-847 but now is used on the K3. ** Message: 6 Date: Fri, 13 Aug 2010 10:40:16 -0700 From: "Bill Ross" Subject: [Elecraft] K2 Mic hookup To: Message-ID: <74491666f81840b792fae182ed489...@bill> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="Windows-1252" Have a Yaesu MH-31 mike with the RJ45 connector on it. Was going to cut it off and install the 8 pin connector from Radio Shack, P/N 274-025, till I read some posts on this list about the problems soldering to the mike cable. So, was wondering if anyone knows of a female RJ45 socket, or Jack, that I can get to make up a short adapter cable so I can plug my MH-31 into it and that into the 8 pin connector on the K2?
