I want to be able to use headphones just to listen. Something like a pair of earbuds. I do NOT want a speaker mike or anything like that. Does anyone have an easy solution,? like an off the shelf

Forgot to mention that, but that’s what I meant about being “old-school”, back when radios had metal cases and felt solid, not like plastic “walkie-talkies” that we played with as kids.

Yep, lots of metal too. I almost want to pick up a second one to just put away... What's next, Motorola gear? ?

Personally, I’d rather have it the way it is than to be loose and flimsy. This is just one of the features that makes the FT-60 that much better than some of the newer radios. It LOOKS old-school
