Problem is the mikes have a 2.5 and 3.5mm jack. I ordered some 2.5mm females, but didn't pay attention and I received the SMD type. The barrel from that is even shorter than the 3.5mm ones that came with the kit.
Have been browsing but so far haven't found a solution yet.
Unfortunate the Baofengs are not that cheap to harvest parts off it. ;)
