Receiving a Signal from a Wireless Microphone using a VX-6R Two-Way Radio

A two-way radio receives a signal from a wireless microphone

I noticed that this particular model of a wireless microphone (Kevler) displays the frequency at which it operates. It transmits signals on to a receiver dongle, which then connects to an amplifier as part of a wireless microphone setup. The microphone has a button to toggle between 30 pre-programmed frequencies from 670.5 MHz to 699.5 MHz. Realizing that this frequency range is within the receive capability of my Yaesu VX-6R two-way radio, I borrowed the microphone and tested if I could receive its signal. I typed the frequency into the two-way radio and immediately received the microphone’s signal. I found out that the signal is transmitted in FM mode.
