[TenTec] The secret to GREAT audio -- only $3.79!

[Bill NY9H]

HELLO...I've been, along with an audio consultant friend ( very 
opinionated , BUT usually correct), and another friend in the sound 
contracting business been trying to send this same message.

My "main mic happens to be a shure element mounted into a flexboom 
housing i make from a gooseneck lamp from target. Total cost 9.99$ ( 
the element was from the hamfest box an old shure mic..  (with a 
rising hi end,,,, but not a screacher,,,)

My portable setup ( in a pelican case) uses a stereo computer headset 
$6.99, that  has an electret element !!!  I used a small 
handheld-sized box to hold the ptt switch, and  provide the two 1/8" 
5mm stereo jacks which connect to the headset.
The box has a cable with the usual foster 8 pin mic plug for the 
elecraft. Since I wired the K2 as an ICOM , I have the speaker audio 
on pin8...works great

Since there was some spare room in the box , I also put a radio shack  9$
audio memory chip  to save the " CQCQ NY9H QRP  !!"

YOU CAN BUILD YOUR OWN MIC ,  TO GO WITH YOUR K2,,,,
dig in and try it ...
