Never did get a clear answer on this. If I wire the K2 up for the
Kenwood, and I have a Heil Pro Headset with the Kenwood adapter, I will
be good to go?
Curious, why did they stop making the Elecraft associated mike? Was it
plastic or metal?

Dave,
As far as the connections to the mic, yes, you will be 'good to go' if you
use the Kenwood adapter and wire the K2 for the Kenwood configuration..
Whether you will want a preamp or not with that HC5 element is an entirely
different question. For use with your HC5 element Proset, you might
Just curious of why the focus on the ICOM mikes? When I looked at the
drawing for the pins on the front panel, it looked like the Kenwood was
the least complicated to wire.
A bit off topic, the Heil website does not show the hand mikes anymore.
Well not a 'real' hand mike that sits and your
Dave,
The stock K2 works best with a high output mic. The previously available
Elecraft MH2 and MD2 were high output electret mics (the ProSet-K2 was
also). Unfortunately, the MH2 and MD2 are not currently available. The
folks at Elecraft are trying to find suitable replacements, but so far no

Yes. But that's really a nice way of saying that the audio
circuitry of the K2 lacks sufficient gain to work well with a real
mic. There are several mods to improve this situation, and all
One quick note on the Heil Handi Mic. You can order it with any of
the standard Heil elements. It doesn't have a permanently attached
cord. You can order a variety of cords for different radios. So I
ordered the Icom element with the Kenwood cord. Adding the resistor

I recently bought a Heil 'Handi-MIc' with the Icom element (designated
HM-IC). It works fine without a preamp, but does need the resistor to
bias the electret element. Rather than removing the front panel and
wiring the jumper, I just opened up the connector shell on the mic and
soldered the
The Heil microphone preamps are required for the Heil microphones using the
HC4 and HC5 elements. The electret elements do not need a preamp (but they
do need a resistor at the mic jack). The Heil mics designated for use with
Icom transceivers are usually of the electret typw and work quite well
