MD2

[Phil LaMarche]

Just received my MD2 and see it is necessary to modify my K@ to use it.
It's that rather silly from a marketing stand point?  I would have thought
plug and play.

I would bet, that's the reason they were discounted.  Smart move on Elecraft's part, only wish we were advised before hand.   Other than that, I'm satisfied with mine.  Now when I can get the K2 to talk up, it will be a win-win situation.

Phil,

I don't understand what needs to be modified - it is plug and play if you
are wired for an Elecraft mic already.

Those jumpers and the resistor are supplied with every Elecraft mic
including the on-sale MD2 - just in case they are needed.

What is necessary is that the mic configuration header and mic jack be wired
for the 'Elecraft standard' - all header pins wired straight across and a
5.6k resistor on the mic jack between pins 1 and 6.  That wiring will
support any Elecraft mic that is currently available and I figure for any
future mics to be introduced in the future.

You alway do have the choice of modifying the wiring at the mic plug if you
want to retain the mic header configuration you have been using with other
mics.  My choice is to always use the Elecraft configuration (I do modify it
a bit so I can use mics that do not want voltage supplied to the AF line).
