[Yaesu] Finally got a radio

[Hart Engel]

Good news for all you Yaesu lovers.

I finally got lucky, and got myself a Yaesu radio.  It's not a new radio but 
at least it works, and it's not a tube rig either.  The radio came with a 
Yaesu power supply, and believe it or not the original manual.  The model is 
a ft-301 with analog display.  I have yet not tried it due to the fact that 
I do not have a antenna on the roof yet.  But that will be rectified 
shortly, with a homemade dipole [still waiting for a tuner to come in the 
mail].  The radio did not come with a microphone, and a few of the readers 
expressed knowledge of the wiring diagram for a microphone.  Right now the 
only microphone I have is a lollipop one [D-104 Silver eagle]. Which I'm 
sure some of you readers will tell me if it's a good microphone or not to 
use with this radio.

So the questions are;

What is the wiring diagram for a Silver eagle microphone?
And is there anything I should be aware of in this particular model?  [Bugs 
or glitches etc.]
Is there any modifications I should be doing to this radio?

P.S.The radio is very clean inside and out, and not very many scratches on 
the outside either. I was very surprised when I got this radio how well it 
was looked after.
So any comments or questions about this rig will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Hart
