John,
It does use a modular jack for the mic and it is right next to the jack
for the remote head. The mic plug is larger and will never fit into
the remote jack, but I guess it is possible to force the smaller remote
plug into the mic jack, but it probably won't lock in and would just
not feel right.
As has been suggested, maybe removing the VGS1 and see what happens.
Most of the time this stuff turns out to be pilot error, but it sure is
aggravating.
