What are you trying to do with it
Call in air strikes obviously
Idk though, be in contact with my guys. What else would they be for?
Just operating team or a home base
Have you ever used a radio before?
If not just get a baofeng
I recommend the Baofeng UV-82HP in particular for a first timer.
I use two radios every day
What’s the point of running comms if you don’t have a team to communicate with? That’s what I don’t get.
Listening to police scanners, in case you link up with a team
Most big departments have encrypted comms now.
@Bogs_Bunny believe it or not NYPD isn't
Surely theres a way to get in to those encrypted comms...
I’m not around any big departments
Not something that can be hacked, you'd have to have a very expensive radio, the keyloader, and the exact key directly from the comms people.
@GRANITE The ability to talk to people in the future. Also no team to talk to here, but i think having a simple set up makes sense... But has always been towards the back burner...

@Bogs_Bunny Anarchy, ive got a set of 5ra's, i should grab an 82??
@ChefJeff77 no those are fine. Not worth switching. I just think the 82s are a little nicer is all
I was ust getting ready to grab extended batteries and such for the 5s.
I bought an adapter that lets me power it with four AA batteries. I'm not sure if it's official by Baofeng or third party lol
It works though, so I'm happy.
I think i saw that when i was looking around on amazon
Snagged an 82, battery,, and mic.
are throat mics still useful or have they gone the way of the dodo?
Very much in use, but very expensive
Also bone conduction mics are a thing.
nice, are bone conducting head sets viable for comms ?
If you spend enough, sure
Lots of good comms stuff in that group
anyone know if i can own an an-prc-152 legally, and where to get one
or atleast a good UHF radio?
Is that close enough?
is it legit?
I look at eBay
They’re all from China
👀👀
Because they are illegal replicas...
