[Yaesu] Mic for Yaesu FT-5200

[KBØNLY]

A local ham here also has a 2400 with a dead mic, make that two dead mics as 
the one he used to replace his still had the same problem.  But taking 
another Yaesu mic from a 897 worked great audio wise, of course the buttons 
don't work correctly, so it doesn't appear to be in the radio.  It must be 
mic related only.  There is a lot of MH-27 microphones showing up dead 
monitoring online forums, and I have seen a half a dozen or so non-working 
mics for sale on eBay as well.

So its a very common problem!

73,

Scott
