I took advantage of the reduced prices and ordered the MD-2 and CB-1
microphone and base for my K2. They arrived and certainly look and feel
very nice, but no surprises there.
I have a couple of questions, anyone can be of help with them, I appreciate
hearing from you:
1) I also have the Elecraft/Heil hand mic and was able to install the
5.6k resistor into the mic plug, rather than into the K2. This worked out
fine and now I can use other mics and data sources (I use a RigBlaster for
psk31)with the K2. Has anyone tried to put the 5.6k resistor into the plug
of the MD-2 and is their anything special I should know?
2) I seem to have an 'extra' part that came with the order. It is a piece
of metal about 3/4 inch long, threaded with standard screwdrivers slots at
each end. It's not immediately obvious to me were this goes. (And I forget
if it came with the microphone or the base.)
3) I really like the idea the there is a the jack for a footswitch. Does
anyone have a source where I can pick up a switch?
4) Also, along the same lines as the footswitch, is there an 'always on'
position on the PTT switch on the mic ?(I haven't actually used the mic yet
because I haven't yet installed the resistor).
Thanks for your help and have a nice holiday season,
