Where is a good place to find accessories for Motorola 2 way radios?
I just purchased a set of Motorola T5530R 2 way radios from REI.com In the ad, it said optional accessories available, but where is a good place to get stuff like that? I’m looking for a headset with VOX to use backstage in a theater to talk to the lighting and sound person so I don’t want anything that will beep to loudly, etc. Can I use the headphone that I got with my cell phone? I think they both have the same size plug. 2.5mm

Product Description
With a range of up to 18 miles, the T8550R Camo is guaranteed to not drop a call, charge you roaming or be out of signal range. And with a choice of a drop-in charger or battery power, you never need an electrical outlet to keep in touch. The T8550R Camo helps you plan and pack for your trip with a NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) weather receiver, providing continuous local and regional weather broadcasting. The T8550R Camo has you covered with 2,662 channel and code combinations provided by a full 22-channel capacity and 121 privacy codes. The VibraCall silent vibrating ringer is ideal at the racetrack or a football game where you would not be able to hear a ringer. The T8550R Camo has a Motorola exclusive feature called "companding". This sophisticated technology filters out the static between words, allowing the radio to deliver noticeably clearer transmissions. iVOX hands-free communication allows you to have your hands full and still answer an incoming call.

Tons of stuff can be found on e-bay.
The radios you have are ILLEGAL to use for the use you have described. They are FRS/GMRS radios (family radio service/general mobile radio service). Channels 1-14 are freebie channels for use with your family. GMRS (all the other channels) REQUIRE a FCC license to operate. Each person not in your immediate family must have a separate license to use. These radios (licensed or not) cannot be legally used for business purposes.
The license also costs about 80 bucks.
