K2/handmic/headset (new K2 buyer)

mikekopacki
I'm going to order a K2, and I want to get the right handmic.  I have a Heil Proset headset now, with the Icom element.  I would like to use this headset with the K2, as well as my Icom rig.

Does this mean that I need to buy an Icom handmic for use with the K2, or can I get the K2 mic and wire it so that I can use the Heil headset that I already have?

You CAN wire your K2 as an ICOM,,,, even putting the speaker audio on pin
8, as Icom does for their headset.  I did, and use my Icom mikes and icom
headsets, as well as great sounding cheapo computer heasdsets wired as icom....
  I can usually find someone selling an Icom headset with the push to talk
hand control....for 15-25 $$. already wired for MY k2.( as well as my icoms)
