The FT-8500 has a very unique 'mr potato head' mic that works with it. I believe I have one but not sure where it is! I'll search for it and update you.

Does anybody in the club have an FT 8500? Mine has stopped working and I think it’s the microphone I’d like to test with somebody else’s microphone or somebody else’s radio.
