Okay - so I have a big SAREX this weekend and I needed some toys for my EF Johnson HT. With my old VX-150 I had a Pryme 1-wire recon headset which was awesome - the audio quality rocked and it took a serious beating and kept on working.
When these EF Johnson radios came out they rendered all of my Vertex accessories useless. I was faced with a hunt to find the right stuff for this funky multi-pin connector. Well, in a sheer stroke of genius - the gang at EF Johnson made this connector essentially the same as the Motorola HT-1000 connector, making most of the 1,000,000,000 HT-1000 add ons work with their radio as well (not sure about the fancy speaker mics with controls on them).
Once I nailed down what I needed I started my search for a vendor. I landed on TWA Comm. They are rockstars. I placed my order today and it's already on its way. They sent me an email conformation and everything - gotta love an easy paper trail.
I ordered the following:
1 Pryme Radio Products Heavy Duty Speaker Microphone for EF Johnson and Motorola Multi Pin Radios (SPM-3123) for the very reasonable price of $80.04. As you all know, I don't mind spending a little bit more for something that (barring another radio change) will last me a long time.
1 Pryme Radio Products Cord with Right Angle Connector (EH-1389SC) for $36.97. This is so I can limit who hear radio traffic if I want to. This comes in handy sometimes.
...and finally...
1 Pryme Radio Products Ear Insert Replacement (P-EMMR) for $9.45. Okay - this is purely for my comfort. It's an ear molded insert - for long wear it's way more comfortable.
Overall - a pleasure to buy from these guys. Give them a call at 877-389-0000 - ask for Steve, he rocks.
