Great retort, Don.  You beat me to saying the same thing.

So plug it in with assumptions and you get the "stupeed" award. If lucky it just sits there and does nothing. Unlucky and you just tested your warrantee (Not Covered). But hooking up ham gear without opening manual is standard operating protocol - it seems. OK well lets hookup the power - uh black to red; red to black - poof! $3K up in smoke!

I really dislike the current trend of using the RJ45 as a mic jack. Motorola started using them that way and it ended up being one of worst reliability parts in the system. RJ45 don't take to being physically stressed constantly (at the end of a mic cable).
