I have a silver eagle mic I recently acquired takes the 9v battery I want to retrofit for the 8 pin on my ftdx1200. The existing cable plug is a 5 pin but I verified it has 6 wires in the cable. Can anyone assist in proper pin connection for my yeast 8 pin. I have a spare cable that has a 8 pin plug I can sacrifice for this.

Is there any issues I may run into using a silver eagle I should be aware of?

Any assistance is appreciated

Your audio will go to pin 8, pins 5 and 7 will be ground, pin 6 will be PTT. This should get you going. I'm not sure of the color code of the Astatic.
