Likely this multi-pin plug is for a variety of purposes DC out separate
RX antenna and who knows what else. What is the model of the radio?
The pin outs may be available somewhere on line but not sure.
Thank you!

Subject: Re: Microphone question
just on mikes, on the back of my yaesu, there's what looks like a cannon
plug.
as you're looking at the back of the radio. with the back facing you so
that the so239 is on your left, on the right hand side of the back
pannel there are some plugs in a virtical line.
the top two are RCA and I suspect one of them is for a phone patch. I'm
not too sure what the other is for. there is a 3.5 MM headfone jack
which I have an external speaker connected to. there's a quarter inch
jack for a straight key and this 8 pin thing underneath that. could the
8 pin plug be for a studio or vocal mike of some description? or, could
I attach something to the phone patch and make use of the audio from
there?
thanks in advance.
rig is a yaesu ft201

On 3/04/2008 8:15 PM, the old scribe known as Colin McDonald was able to
impart this pearl of wisdom:
> any studio mike will sound pretty decent on SSB.
> Most studio mikes, even the cheap ones will give you an audio
> frequency range of at least 50HZ to 16KHZ.
> Since your typical 2.7K maximum band width on ssb will be quite a bit
> narrower then that, you can be sure that the mike will give a good
> flat response within the bandwidth that the radio puts out.
> Audio technica, V-tech, AKG, CAD, Nady, shure, among several others
> all sell quality studio mikes for around 30 to 60 bucks.
> If you want a really high quality mike for vocal audio, the shure
> beta-58 is about the best on the market right now under $500.
> It's around the same price as the Heil Gold line, in the $150 to $199
range.
> The idea is to have as flat a response out of the microphone as
> possible, and then contour the response with a graphic Equalizer.
> Some of the cheaper mikes will have bumps at 1K or 2K to increase
> intelegability on a PA, but the better ones will be flat.
> I use a shure sm 158 from time to time on the ts2000 straight in and
> get good results.

on it.
