Does anyone know of a good quality brand radio mic that can plug audio into your ear pro?
We have Baofeng UV-82 radios, and i'd like to find something that will put audio in our ear pro, and have a remote mic piece mountable maybe via clip on your chest rig, shirt, etc.

What ear pro are you running?
Just about every variety of hand mic has an ear phone jack that can be used to plug them into ear pro like the Howard Leight set.
That being said I haven't had good luck with any of the cheaper speaker mics.
I use the UV-5R and currently have a Pryme and Otto speaker mic for them. The Pryme works well as long as it's seated nice and tight. The Otto works better and just seems more durable but it cost more than the radio. Both have the ear piece port though.

I currently use Howard Leight Impact Sports ear pro - it has an audio jack. I'll have to check out the Otto - I don't mind spending a little money if it's good quality.
Thanks for the response!

I bought the Kenwood pin model and it works great. The only downside is it uses a 2.5mm jack whereas 3.5mm seems to be more common. They still do make cables with 2.5 and 3.5 male connectors on each end. Get one of those and you would be good to go
The Pryme and most cheap hand mics use 3.5mm and I believe they already came with a cable for that when I bought mine.
