MH2 Microphone Discontinued

[Paul Saville-3]

The MH2 is now listed as discontinued. Will there be an Elecraft-branded replacement for those who don't fancy "pop star" type microphones?

Hi

The TenTec handheld microphone works great with the K2. It comes with a 4
pin connector that you will need to change to the 8 pin connector for the
K2. This mike works fine with the 5.6K bias resistor from the 5 volt supply
to the AF pin, just like the MH2.

I have also used the TenTec desk mike on the K2, however it really needs 8-9
volts rather than the 5 volts provided by the K2. You can use the internal 9
volt battery or jumper over to the 8 volt supply in the K2.

Heil discontinued the hand mic. Yes, we are working on a new one, but it will be
a little bit before we get them to market.

Thanks for that information OM, I will be CW only until
the new hand mike comes on the market. Take as long as
you like!

Hello All,
After leaving the Elecraft booth at Dayton with my K2/100/SSB/ATU
(SN-004935), DL-1, BL-1 in hand with the understanding that the Heil
hand mic was discontinued, I stopped at the  Heil booth and asked them
what might work. There I was told that a mic with the Icom element and a
Kenwood connector will work. Also they confirmed that the MH2 was no
longer available.

 I ended up purchasing a Traveler boomset for Kenwood because I was
informed that all of the Travelers have Icom elements and only the
connectors are different. I realize that this doesn't directly address
the hand mic issue but perhaps it could help with some homebrewing.

PS, As soon I clear a workable area on my bench, construction of the K2
will begin.
