MH2 Mic arrived DUH!

[Neil Shubert]

Hi ALL

I got my MH2 mic or the k2 and there was no resistor in the box  ACK!

I know its a 5.6K  Green Blue red, and its a 1/4 watt but is there a better
choice?

and should I get a gold or a silver tolerance?

Off to the telephone shack tomorrow

-Neil

Neil,

The resistance is not critical, so if you have a resistor (of any
tolerance) between 4.7k and 6.8k on hand use that.

Did you have a tan envelope on the package with the 8 jumpers for the
microphone configuration header?  If so, look very carefully in that
envelope, the resistor can get twisted inside and will not fall out -
tear the envelope open if necessary.

Don, Thank you for the help, and I did just that, tore the envelope up and
it still wasn't there.  Radio is waiting, its ok, its been weeks, it will
wait 1 more day.
