2-pin to XLR-5 adaptors are permitted at my airline, but with caveats. Pin 5 in the adaptor must not be connected (this is the power pin) as voltage spikes have fried several radio components. Secondary to this, the 2-pin plugs must be connected before the XLR-5 adaptor is plugged into the aircraft to also minimise the potential for voltage spikes.
