one of those RCA jacks is probably for recording out.
Its better to run a studio mike into the front mike jack because the
impedance will match up better. Some of the older yaesu's had back pannel
mike jacks and even balanced modulator inputs...but definitely better to use
the front panel jack since it will be expecting a Low Z, or typical 600 ohm
mike input.
