K2 mic compatibility?

[Frank Krozel]

Hi folks,

I have just been handed a Heil mic wired for 8 pin Icom.

Anyone know if the Icom 8pin is pin for pin compatible with a K2 that is wired for an MH-2?

Not that I need another mic as I am a CW guy but… I have been on SSB since Don aligned it and was wondering if I can “just plug it in”.

Frank,

Unfortunately, the mic plug wiring is different than that for the MH2.
Can I assume that it is one of Heil's microphones that use an adapter?  
If so, replace the adapter with the one used for Kenwood (red band).
Since it is an Icom microphone, it likely needs bias, so the resistor
added to the back of the K2 microphone jack can stay in place.
