For years the pro audio industry has connected balanced mikes to
unbalanced inputs with excellent results. No adapters, transformers,
matching units, or unique grounding schemes are required. Just correct
wiring as I described earlier. It is just two connectors, one XLR for
the mike and one 8 pin Foster connector for the radio and a length of 2
conductor shielded mike cable.

If you are terribly concerned about connecting a balanced mic to an
unbalanced input there are plenty of commercial adapters out ther,
some of them even cost more than $10.
