Astatic Silver Eagle for Kenwood TS480

[SMILEX2692002]

Anybody ever use one on a TS480?
I think it could sound good with the right settings on the rig.
I was wondering if it would be much trouble to wire it to the TS480.
I guess the easy way would be to wire it for a Kenwood 8 pin mic plug and use a MJ-88 Modular to 8 pin microphone plug adapter.
I was trying to avoid buying the MJ-88 and wire a modular plug onto the Silver Eagle itself.

Ide really watch it if you do this as these kenwood Rigs aswell as most other HF Rigs are FINICKY as far as amplified microphones go. The forgiving rigs are the older rigs Like TS-430 TS-440 ETC.
