Anyone out there use those cloned Bowman headsets? I bought one recently from a member here and now want to get a radio. I know ICOM's are good. But what I would like to know is what radios people are using with these headsets. Thanks.

You need to know what pin configuration your headset has as they are for specific brands.

Just because it is a two pin does not mean it will be compatible with other two pin set ups, you need to find out what model it is before you buy any radios.

OK then, I believe that it is a Kenwood two pin connection. The pins are 2.5mm & 3.5mm, 7mm apart. Am I correct to assume that even if the connection fits the radio, it does not guarantee it will work? Or am I completely wrong?

That is correct.

Do you have a part number for the headset, or anything like that?

I wouldn't say for sure, but I wouldn't automatically assume it would work with anything else.
