Yaesu MH-31A8J Mic

I assume this mic will work with the MAESTRO. I hate to make assumptions. I was looking at the connection schematic, it shows a fast, up, down switches, I assume those are not connected in the MAESTRO.

Steve I looked at that illustration in the Maestro manual. If you go and check the Yaesu site for the connections on the MH-31A8J you will find some that don't match. If the up,down & fast are not used on the Flex Maestro circuit board, then everything is good. Thanks for the reply.

It should work.

Thanks Tim.

Bob, I'm wondering what you found with your MH-31 experiment? I know the wiring should work , but the MH-31 is a dynamic mic and I believe the Flex mics are condenser type. I'm guessing if it worked you  deselected Bias, and perhaps used the +20dB boost. What was your result with the MH-31 and what settings do/did you use if it was successful?

I tested the MH-31 mic over the last weekend with my FLEX 6300 and was pleasantly surprised, good audio reports. The mic is connected to my Maestro. Yes the 3 buttons do not work but as a temporary substitute until the original FLEX mic is acquired in due course, this serves as a good replacement and works. This mic is originally from my Yaesu 897D.
