When I plug it in I get a continuous series if dits and no response
from any of the controls on the unit.
I am not a K2 user but I recall the PTT line is also the "dit" line
of the keyer if the keyer is enabled. Have you checked the "Lock"
switch on the microphone base?
Well looking at the schematic, it is an "A" so I guess it's not
suitable for the K2.
Well, I disagree. However, if you can't make it work and would like
to unload it, contact me off the lost.

With a preamp switch on the base, that is an MC-60A.
What position is the slide switch *on the microphone*? That is the
switch that determines high vs. low impedance. You want it in the
"Low" (500 Ohm) position for the K2 (and K3). There are two switches
- the one toward the rear is impedance, the one toward the front is
ON/OFF (the microphone element is disconnected in the OFF position).
If your microphone did not come with a manual, you may want to download
a copy from: <http://homepage.ntlworld.com/wadei/MC-60A.pdf> or
<http://www.n6wk.com/kenwood/MC-60A.pdf>

My MC-60 mic says on the bottom by the switch 'mic amp' in/out. There
isn't an 'A' on the Kenwood trim on the front - just MC-60. Although it
may be an MC-60A, there is no visible designation as such.

Subject: Re: [Elecraft] Kenwood Mc-60 mic with K2
The MC-60 (not A) schematic that I see on the G4WPW website indicates that
the switch changes from low impedance to high impedance. For use with the
K3 and other modern transceivers the switch should be in the low impedance
position.
From the schematic, I cannot understand an "out" label on the switch.
If you have an MC-60A, then "out" would be reasonable referring to the
preamp either in or out.

It's a MC-60 and the switch is "Out".
