FLEX, I see a 1/8 jack for Microphone connection. So my Heil 781 will have to have adapter to mate the XLR to that 1/8 jack. Or is HEIL going to make a new Microphone. I think my Behringer ULTRAGAIN PRO Mic 2200 will have to go away, also my Jabber remote microphone will have to go away. 4 years with a FLEX 6500 Now I start all over again. BUT I have stuff to sell at the next Ham fest.
Now the clock ticks on my 6600 to be delivered.

It's super simple to remove an old connector and add a new one. If you don't have the skills then I'm sure there are plenty of hams in the area who would help. It's a 10 minute job.

I would, however recommend two things.. 1) use right angle connectors to reduce torque strain on the rig's jack. 2) avoid simply using an adapter instead of a new connector or pigtail adapter -- for the same reason.

Bose uses the same arrangement used by David Clark on their helicopter headset/mic.

Someone here is claiming that the mic connector on the new radios is 1/4XLR ....I assume he meant 1/4 and xlr.
Is this true.... I find it nowhere????
Please verify or dismiss this.

Also they have a 3' & 5' 1/4" to XLR Females to go straight into the mic.... I hope the pinouts match up.... lol
They also have a 1/8" TRS to XLR female ... https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/XVM105F

Removing a cover, inserting a connector in the rear panel,(threaded body) screwing on a washer and the nut, should be easy enough to do. No soldering required! Neat and much better than adapters hanging off the back of a desk putting strain on the 1/8 connector.

The internal layout makes this a bit challenging. But if there is a way to accommodate something like this, we will consider it. No promises.

This isn’t hard folks. Took half an hour including time for a couple contacts and a beer.

On the 6400/6600 the low voltage bias will be available on the 1/8 inch connector, but the 1/4 inch TRS will be just like the BAL input on the 6500/6700, which has no bias voltage. (But without the XLR).
