Here’s the pinout of the mic connector from the user manual:

Connector used looks like GX16-6, but needs to be confirmed.
Based on that, the audio cable for Digirig will look like this:

GX16-6 pin 1 (0V) → Audio 3.5mm TRRS sleeve (GND)
GX16-6 pin 2 (PTT) → Audio 3.5mm TRRS ring 2 (RIG_PTT)
GX16-6 pin 3 (MIC-H) → Audio 3.5mm TRRS ring 1 (RIG_AFIN)
GX16-6 pin 4 (MIC-C) → GX16-6 pin 1 (0V)
GX16-6 pin 5 (PHONE) → Audio 3.5mm TRRS tip (RIG_AFOUT)

if PHONE pin doesn’t get the audio out of the radio, then the backup option is the tip of the headphone jack.

Good info.
Here is a pic of the mic connector. Looks like a funny connector. Where would I find one? Or would you be able to source it out and add to an order ?

Yeah, that’s not a regular GX16 connector. Not finding any matches for it online. Normally I would suggest getting a cheap mic to cannibalize its cable for interface but used mics for this model cost more than most of the radios. Another option is to swap the connector in the radio for something more readily available.
