I am interested in adapting my Yaesu MD-200A8X microphone for use with the Maestro Model B.  It doesn't appear to connect using the telephone-like jack.  How do I adapt this microphone for use with the Maestro Model B?

    Had similar problem with 6700/Maestro and a Yaesu M100 which are the same pinouts. The trouble was that 6700/Maestro does not provide sufficient power for the microphone. Solution was a Yaesu power adapter for that microphone. This solved the issue and worked perfectly I’m aware that other microphones also require more power.

    Sure but you can reverse the MD200 cable and plug it right into the Maestro.
