Can I use an HT mic with the K2?

omehegan
Having finished my base K2 a couple of weeks ago and spent some time
getting familiar with its controls, I'm going to get started on the SSB
board assembly this week. However I don't yet have a microphone I can
use with it.

I have a Yaesu HT with the MH-57 speaker mic, and I'm hoping against
hope that I can hack together a cable to connect it to my K2. I realize
that a $40 hand mic would be the simpler solution, but in the interest
of saving time I thought I would ask if this will work. I already have
the connectors and mic cable I would need.

These are the pinouts from the mic:

It looks like I might just need to connect PTT and GND, but I'm
assuming this is a condenser mic and it might need some phantom
power... Any thoughts?
