Hi.

If the pin-out on the mic matches the pin-out on the radio, I don't think 
you'll have any problem with the Yaesu mic.  As I commented in my previous 
post, the only mic that did really poorly was the Shure 526T and the reason 
was because I couldn't keep RF out of the preamp on that mic, and the 
TS130S didn't really need the preamp anyway.
