K2 No SSB out

KR4OW
Hello all
I have not fired up one of my k2 for a couple of years.
I went to use it and I have no transmit audio.
I have the MH 2 Microphone.
Is there a way to test it?
It keys the radio but no audio.
I know that this i an electret mic but not sure how to test with VOM
Thanks
David

David,

Does this K2 produce power in CW mode?  I cannot tell from your post
whether you have an SSB audio problem or whether you have an RF transmit
problem - more information is required.

If you do have output in CW mode (or TEST), then the following questions
are relevant.

Do you have bias voltage (+5V) on pin 1 of the mic connector?

Did this MH2 microphone work with this particular K2 before?  If you are
not certain, look at the plugging for the microphone configuration
header - for the Elecraft pinout, all connections should be straight
across the header and there should be a 5.6k resistor between pins 1 and
6 on the back of the mic jack.
