You didn't mention if you tried contacting SH - I would start with that. There's probably a contact phone number in your manual. If you can't get just that piece, you might have to settle for a new microphone or fabbing something up to work as a button.

You can send it to Yaesu, the mic will be NLA, and you get to pay 'em $35 plus shipping if you want it back. Worst CS support I've seen recently . Or keep an Ebay lookout for a 'parts' unit that has a compatible mic ...

S/H customer service has always been good to me. That's why I buy their stuff over ICOM.

Call them up and see what they say.

:uhm I'm thinking you haven't had a problem with a unit that's not current production. Seems if one doesn't have a Class D unit, little support (if any) can be expected from Yaesu. It is what it is ...

OK called Standard (Yaesu) today. Tech service found the part number and they actually still had the cover in stock. $1:57. What a deal.

Thanks for the help.....
