Jumpers for the K2 mic?

Guys, I am about ready to place an order to Elecraft and one of the items I will be needing are a few of the connectors like P3, P6, and the headphone jack. Mine was inoperative when I got it used..
Where is the jumper block for the mic? Been staring at the pictures and cannot find the manual where it shows where the jumper block is.
I guess it is on the control panel but cannot find any picture of that in case I need some additional connectors.
(I got it used and it is in perfect condition!!)

Re: Jumpers for the K2 mic?

Frank, for the K2 (I think that's the rig you
mean) the info you need is in this document
"ELECRAFT KSB2 S SB ADAPTER
Assembly and Operating Instructions". Near the end
is the info for configuring it for various mics.

When you said "Mine was inoperative when I got it
used" do you mean on SSB or completely? Does it
have the KSB2 option installed?

Re: Jumpers for the K2 mic?

All I “see” are pc holes that are unpopulated. I am thinking there is a header missing or similar.
I was kind of looking for a jumper block.

Re: Jumpers for the K2 mic?

In reply to this post by Frank Krozel

The “missing” PCB header is supplied with the KSB2 SSB option module. If you order a MH2 microphone, you’ll get a packet of PC-style jumpers to bridge the header. Otherwise, if you use a different type of microphone, you need to take care for the jumping yourself. The “UNPCB” guy sells a nice jumpering PCB that allows you to easily change the jumper setup for a range of standard mics, suggest you look it up below (look for “Internal Mic Adaptor”):

Re: Jumpers for the K2 mic?

So guess replacing my “headphone jack” will be a part of this process as well.

Re: Jumpers for the K2 mic?

The headphone jack should be unrelated to the mic
config header and the KSB2 board. Why do you think
you need a new headphone jack, Frank?

Re: Jumpers for the K2 mic?

Oh, it was broken and sold that way to me.. In order to hear “something” out of the speaker, you have to insert a headphone into the hole about 1/2 way lol

Re: Jumpers for the K2 mic?

Got it.

BTW this item

http://www.unpcbs.com/adaptor/

mentioned by Dick in an earlier post is a 3rd part K2 mod which is very nice to have. It lets you change the mic configuration without a major disassembly of the K2. Only one side panel needs removing once this mod is in place.

I believe a lot of folks have had a problem with that jack. It sounds

Re: [Bulk] Re: Jumpers for the K2 mic?

I did hear this was problematic but.. I have had 4 K2’s never had that problem. Maybe some folks use a 1/4” to 1/8” adapter and the darn thing hangs out too far.
Oh well, my parts list quest moves forward.
Things to do over the holiday to keep out of the way of the wife..

Re: Jumpers for the K2 mic?

In reply to this post by Frank Krozel

When you place your order, mention in the comments section that you want a headphone jack or two (email parts at elecraft dot com to get the part number/pricing). When I bought my K2 I ordered an extra headphone jack as a spare because I heard they can wear out after some time.

In reply to this post by Tom McCulloch

I'm surprised to hear that, Tom. Mine's been in
service since July 1999 (the headphone jack, not
the KSB2!) and no problems. Of course, with a K3
and KX3 the K2 doesn't get much use these days.

Re: Jumpers for the K2 mic?

In reply to this post by Frank Krozel

Frank,

The K2 microphone configuration header is on the back of the Front Panel
Board. See the KSB2 manual for details on the wiring for that header.

If the prior owner did not tell you what the microphone configuration
header is wired for, you will have to do a physical examination of the
header wiring compared to the wiring information presented in th KSB2
manual.

To get to view the microphone configuration header, you must remove the
Front Panel from the K2. That means first removing the top cover (or
KPA100), and then removing the KAF2 or KDSP2 options (if present) from
the Control Board. There will be either a standoff or a 4-40 screw
securing the Control Board to the standoffs behind the front panel.

Once those connections between the Control board and the Front Panel
board are removed, the Front Panel can be freed by removing the 4 screws
holding the FPB to the K2 side panels and pulling the FPB forward.

Trace the wiring on the Microphone Configuration Header to determine if
your particular microphone is wired correctly (see the KSB2 manual).

That should allow you to set your K2 to the microphone which you are
trying to use with the K2,

73,
Don W3FPR
