YES!!! I did this too .. and, if you orient the adapter correctly it is possible to tighten the collar but the connection is poor and requires rocking the connector back and forth. I have read of several audio problems here where I surmised that this might have been the issue.

I have done this too. Only 6 days after purchasing my 6300! Thought it was broken. Felt pretty foolish after discovering it.

This issue was mentioned on the forum long ago, which is why it occurred to me to check when I had no audio and PTT failed. Thanks Simon for addressing the issue as it will surely cause others grief at some point in their Flex adventures!

I had a quick search too couldn't find any specifics around mic sockets etc ohh well live and learn At least I won't make the same mistake twice! Had a great time after I fixed it working TX3X and T2GC ..

Many thanks for the OP in making us aware of the issue.

This is an issue we encounter in support where the Heil connector has "play" around the key-slot which allows for incorrect insertion. I suspect because Heil has to use the same connector on a lot of different radios, they use one that works with all radio types since the connector specs can vary. Personally I have not had this problem with third-party Foster connectors I have purchased when making my own mic cables.0
