I want to say the combination of doing the 2.4 Khz cap mod, and replacing the crystals on the RF board and SSB adapter( my ssb adapter board was one of the very first ones to come out)and receiving a MD2 microphone for Christmas is a winning combination. Having a Hakko 908 de-soldering tool made replacing the caps and crystals a snap.
I am getting unsolicited compliments on the audio quality since doing the cap mod. With the QSO's I have been having lately the folks do not believe I am running a K2/100. Prior to doing the SSB cap mod I was using a MH2 hand microphone. I was always getting reports of bassy transmit audio even after replacing the crystals and using spectrogram to align the ssb filters. I think the MH2 microphone will sound great now as well after doing the cap mod. I need to do some comparisons with the two microphones to tell for sure, If you have an older ssb adapter I highly recommend doing the cap mod. A big thank you to Elecraft and Bob Heil for making the K2 a great SSB rig! Happy New year!
