Greetings Elecrafters. I have ordered a TenTec Model 1201 microphone kit for
SSB use with my K2. It is an electret mike, and is their kit version of the
705 desk mike. I liked the looks of it and understand these mikes work
pretty well with the K2. My questions: Does it connect to P1 using
Mike:
If it's an electret mic, it requires power. Assuming the power is
coming from the K2, then it needs the resistor. The 1201 mic kit
doesn't come with a connector (I just checked), so you are free to wire
it any way you want, after you buy the proper connector. Just make sure
the K2 is

I briefly had my hands on a TenTec 705 microphone. It had a battery in
the base which causes me to believe that the electret element is powered
from the battery.
In any case, a review of the schematic should reveal how the various
connections (AF, PTT, 5v, ground, etc) are routed to

I am using the Ten Tec 705 mic with my K2, and it is a great mic with the K2. I
wired my K2 straight across ( standard K2 wiring)
Then wired the mic to match. The mic requires power so you could use the
battery in the mic base, but its not necessary if you
tap the 5 volts offered in the K2 at
5 matches
