Mic Switch Box

[Phil Kane-2]

I need to switch my K2 mic input between two mic sources (TNC audio and
a "real" microphone).  Both have the default "Kenwood" pinout.

In theory it should be a simple task IF (big letters) the proper sockets
(male and female) and an 8-pole 2-throw switch are available.  I do not
know if they are.

I am looking for one "ready made", though.  Because I am legally blind
in one eye, soldering wires in such a construction is not an option for me.

Does anyone know of such a device?  Thanks for all replies.

Phil, MFJ makes a wide variety of switch boxes.  Perhaps
there's something in their product line that could meet your
need.

there is - but I made my own (for a different rig), because I didn't  
want to pay £80 for a switch!

Sorry Phil, I should have read your post first.
MFJ make two by the looks of it
MFJ-1261 and MFJ-1262 with variants (although can't find them on the  
site)

I wish to thank all who pointed me to the MFJ 1272 series of boxes.
They are exactly what I need.

I do have to apologize for not finding it on my own.  I have a blind
spot towards that company based on a long delay that I had in getting a
defective switching supply repaired, but I really shouldn't hold that
grudge forever.

I really do appreciate the Elecraft community spirit of helpfulness!

I'm very pleased with my NCS-3240 Multi-Switcher.  Switches mics, speakers,
computer lines, keyers, etc.  Very versatile.
