Making your own mic adapter is literally a 5 minute job for anybody who
knows how to strip and solder wire.  Get appropriate jacks from Radio Shack
for mic and, if desired, PTT.  Alternately buy an audio cable using the
jacks and cut, leaving 2 - 3 inches of cable on the jack.  Solder to mic
plug and make sure there's strain relief for wires exiting the mic plug.
