Get a Heil AD1-K or the INRAD equivalent adapter.  That will
provide you an 1/8" jack for the mic and a 1/4" jack for a
foot switch or hand PTT from the front panel regardless of
what headset you end up selecting.

Wow,

Thank you everybody!  I really appreciate the time you all took to give such well-informed responses.

I still digesting everybody's thoughtful insights.  One thing that seems apparent is that my front panel requirement may well go by the wayside, but that is hardly a deal-breaker. I will be operating this set-up exclusively out of doors for POTA, drive up SOTA and grid expeditions. Wind will often be a factor - especially on summits.

With the Kenwood MC-60 the PTT was in the base of this desk mic. I like the idea of a foot switch, but maybe an inline PTT would be better in that is one less item to lug around.  What's everybody using there?

I'll keep you posted on my quest's results.

Thanks again for the cornucopia of information.

PS;

Here is a recent SOTA/Grid expedition with my old set-up:
