Hello Everyone,
I was curious if anyone here knows of a good source for 4-pin TRRS connectors or solder pigtails that will fit *PROPERLY* into Yaesu HTs like the FT1? Argent Data sells one but it looks like it might be too wide at the tip:

At $6/ea, is not exactly cheap and it only offers three out of the four wires.
I'm also curious if the threaded-style TRRS connectors will work ok for non-threaded radios. I would assume so but thought I'd ask.
There are connectors like these:

but I've always found these contact solder-type connectors very difficult to get a good, lasting solder contact to.
There are also some pre-made cables that look "promising" but I have no idea if they would actually fit deeply enough (they seem fairly narrow at the tip) but are all four wires connected?
