K2 Mic question

Paul W. Van Dyke
I am adapting a Yamaha CM500 to the K2. I need the 5+ volts on pin 6 and
normally would jumper the two as then I BELIEVE I could use the MH2 and Heil
adapters ( it is now setup as well as K3 as a Kenwood),  BUT I am NOT sure
if I will blow something.
Suggestions??

Thank You
Paul - KB9AVO

Paul,

Do 2 things.
Yes, connect straight across the microphone configuration header to
connect +5V to pin 6, and then solder a 5.6 k resistor between pins 1
and 6 of the mic jack.

Second thing is just a check of the Heil Kenwood adapter - use your
ohmmeter, connect one lead to pin 6 and check the resistance to all
places you can plug something into - expect a very high resistance -
maybe infinite (same reading as with the leads separated).

This last step is just a check.  Bob Heil has told me that only 4
conductors are connected in his adapters, AF, AF Return, PTT, and PTT
Return, but if someone else had it, there could be modifications.
