XTS accessories compatable with EFJ5100's?

[FireCpt809]

My Volunteer FD was given some EF Johnson EFJ5100 VHF portables by the state. I know the antennas and speaker mics are compatable, are the batteries the same as an XTS?

Yup

Looks like the Chief is going to be ordering some batteries from you soon.

I think I read here the whole reason for the 5100 was some government (AU, NZ???) needed "competition" for high tier handhelds so Motorola worked a deal with EFJ. I think they even used the same RF board for awhile?

What type of connector is the XTS and 5100 for the Antenna? SFJ,SMA,SJ?

I purchased a PRC127 antenna for mine, have not received yet but it may not work...

SMA They seem to work better with the long motorola wideband antenna

If it is a PRC127EFJ SMA type it will work. If it's just a regular old 127 antenna then it's just a Bendix/King threaded post type and it won't fit.

The Antenna for the EF Johnson is an SMA-F (Female) adapter, the one for Most Motorolas.
The PRC-127 Antennas I purchased are post type and only work on the old BK product
