If you haven't yet confirmed proper operation of the front panel connector on the Flex, I'd suggest checking the ribbon cable from the jack to the pc board. When I got my F5K, I noticed that the Foster jack was a bit loose. I found that either during shipping or because the jack twisted a bit when I plugged in the mic, the ribbon cable came unplugged from the board.
I haven't checked the wiring of my Heil Classic/CC-1 combo, but after reconnecting the ribbon cable, it does key the radio and produces sound, however I'm having an audio problem that is best characterized as a rythmic thumping. The thump's rate is variable with the audio card's sampling rate, but only appears on 10 and 15 meters, and is not present when I use my Heil Proset. The thump is still present when I use just the CC-1 adapter without the mic hooked up. I was going to add some ferrite beads, but maybe a check of the adapter's wiring is in order.
