Hi all,
I know that there are few Yaesu FT-847 owners out there, so these questions are for you. One of the microphones I have for the radio, the Yaesu MH-36, is literally having the coiled microphone cable's rubber jacket disintegrating. The replacement microphone coiled cable is no longer available from Yaesu. Has anyone else experienced this problem? If so I would be interested in finding out what you did.
I am pretty sure I can locate 7 conductor coiled microphone cable and I already have spare microphone plugs but I don't know anything about the 7 pin plug that is on the inside of the microphone housing. If push comes to shove, I could probably build up a cable if I knew who the female plug manufacturer and model number is or maybe use a small circuit board to develop an interface between the existing wiring and anything new.
Any suggestions or help would be most appreciated. Thanks in advance.
