I really want to get DragonRed's DH PRC-148 MBITR radio but up to now I still could not figure out if I should change the panel connector on the radio to a 6 pin or change the connector on my PTT to a 5 pin cause Ill be using my Peltor COMTAC II.

According to Peabird from another website and I quote " i think this will work and be compatible, because the sixth pin is not neccessary when it comes to audio transfer - the sixth pin is only for sending/reciving additional data.
My setup at the moment is a 6 pin Peltor Comtac ACH connected to a ALAN PMR radio via original PRC148 plugs with only 5 pins..."

I'm really quite unsure at the moment to either leave it as it is or get an extension cable with a male 6 pin connector on the other end to hook it up to the Peltor's PTT which has a female 6 pin connector and a female 5 pin connector on the other end to hook it up to the male 5 pin panel connector on DragonRed's DH PRC-148 radio.

So in between the Peltor COMTAC's PTT and the radio there's going to be a cable with a male 6 pin connector to hook it up with the Peltor PTT and a 5 pin female connector on the other end to hook it up to the radio.

I'm quite hesitant to change the connector on the Peltor's PTT or the radio cause I might end up messing it. I'm just wondering if there's an existing extension cable with the above mentioned specification?

Maybe somebody here who also bought DragonRed's DH PRC-148 radio and is using a PELTOR COMTAC II would like to give some feedback. I'd appreciate it.
