Anyone out there seen or have experience with these for use at Mission Base?
After a google search, I can't seem to find any base style headsets anywhere for any EF Johnson radio.
My DC has built some nice home-grown ones, haven't seen anything for the mobiles, just for the HT's.
I think that anything for the Motorola HT-1000 handhelds will work, but I haven't seen anything for the base station.
In a "congested" and busy environment it would be nice to allow the operator to shut everyone else out.

As long as we're on headsets, does anybody know of a speaker/mic headset for the Micom-2? I share our comm room as an office with my PAO, and the HF static is driving her nuts when I do my nightly check ins. I know the serial number for the headphones is TRN6273, but I can't find a picture and I think its just headphones for use with a CW key.
Actually, it lists the 5100, which is the portable/handheld, not the 5300, which is the mobile.

Ah, right you are; My bad.
I've been experimenting on my own 5100 portables and 5300 mobiles using the aviation style david clarke headsets. So far, so good. I had to order connectors for the mobile and it worked well. There is bias voltage and speaker audio available at the connector.
I just got an adapter for the HT in the mail and have not had too much time to play. It's pretty straight forward and I am planning on using the PTT switch on the adapter (although I could use a pickle switch).
Once I get the HT adapter wired, it should work for my motorola public safety radios as well.
The mobile audio was just fine (microphone) and I used a jack to allow a pickle PTT switch or a floor switch. I'm still deciding on how to mute the mobile audio (for stealth mode). Not sure I want to or not. The headset is a great way to go for a comm room/eoc environment.
I've also wired a couple of motorola base microphones for the mobile -- makes it nice for an EOC comm room. I've also added (with the base mic) the ability for a foot PTT switch.

Put an on-off switch in the internal speaker line in the Aux plug out the back of the radio?
