[Yaesu] Which DTMF Mic? MH-36 or MH-59?

[J. Gordon Beattie, Jr., W2TTT]

Doc,
The MH-36 is a more limited microphone with a few programmable buttons on
it.
The MH-59 is a fully featured microphone, but can be prone to RF getting
into your audio.  When I'm operating portable, I use the MH-36 since the
antenna tends to be in the near field.  I like the MH-59, but I don't take
chances and if I have space in my pack, I'll bring it and use it but have
the MH-36 as a backup.
I just ran across this article on fixing the RF issue.

I was looking for a remote control/DTMF mic for my
FT-897D.

I noticed that Universal Radio shows only the MH-36
with their FT-897D and the MH-59 with their FT-857D.

Does the MH-36 offer the same features as the
MH-59?  Prices are similar, $59. vs $62.

Is there a good reason to prefer the MH-36 or
the MH-59 with the 897D?

Sure appreciate any informed advice!  :-)
