Questions about this item
How do I connect the MH-42B6JS speaker mic to my Yaesu FT-7800R?
Plug the mic connector into the front-panel microphone jack on the FT-7800R until it clicks; the step people miss is not pushing it in fully, which leaves the PTT dead.
What part of the MH-42B6JS will need replacement first with daily use?
The coiled cable and its strain relief see the most flexing; expect to replace the cable assembly if the insulation cracks or the PTT button becomes intermittent.
What limits how long I can transmit continuously with the MH-42B6JS on an FT-8800R?
The radio’s internal heat protection kicks in first during long transmissions; the mic itself is rated to survive repeated drops but does not set a duty-cycle limit.
