Microphones for K2

Soaring Eagles
Hi!

I'm currently finishing up K2 #5757 and plan to add SSB in the near future.
I currently have an Icom 746 and the Heil Pro-set Ic. I'm wondering if I'll
be able to use that headset with the K2? From what I've read, it sounds
like the right choice as the mike output is higher for both the Icom and
K2, but thought I'd ask to make sure.

Also, I have an old D-104 that I used to use with my Heath HX-10 (no, I
didn't build it, but it's as old as I am, was my first xmtr, and I just
can't bring myself to sell it <grin>). Is it difficult to make this mike
work with the K2?

Thanks for any help!

Jim, WD9HBC

***************************
While at Pacificon this fall I purchased a Heil Handi-Mic for my K2 #0261.
I've read this list for a long time now and know about the K2's need for a
mic with higher-than-normal output.  Researching the Handi-Mic on-line I
expected the model HM-iC (for Icom) would be the right choice.  So before
making the purchase I went to the Elecraft booth and asked THE MAN, Eric
Schwartz, and he said that's the one to get.  Well, I haven't found out for
sure yet because I still need to build my KSB2 but I have no doubt that I
got the right info from the right man.  Don's response (below) seems to
agree.
