Yaesu MH-36E8J DTMF Hand Microphone with RJ45 Connector

The Yaesu MH-36E8J is a hand microphone with integrated DTMF keypad, designed for use with compatible Yaesu transceivers fitted with an RJ45 / 8-pin modular microphone connector.

This microphone is a practical choice for operators who need additional control directly from the microphone, including DTMF tone generation, repeater operation, compatible remote control functions and more convenient operation in fixed, mobile or portable stations.

The backlit keys make operation easier in low-light environments, making the MH-36E8J suitable for night operation, vehicle installations, field use and base stations. The Up/Down functions allow compatible frequency, channel or parameter changes directly from the microphone, while Mute and Lock functions add convenience during everyday operation.

It is commonly used with Yaesu transceivers from the FT-817, FT-857, FT-897, FT-891, FT-991A and FT-450 families, making it especially useful for amateur radio operators who need DTMF functionality and basic radio control without constantly using the front panel.
