or atleast a good UHF radio?
Is that close enough?
is it legit?
I look at eBay
Theyβre all from China
ππ
Because they are illegal replicas...
They are about as legit as you're gonna find that's useful
You wouldn't know what to do with a real one... not many would.
10 watts, dual band, waterproof, solid aluminum shell, takes all real military accessories and uses real Harris batteries.
The Facebook group above has a ton of info and parts available... ask people there about them.
I'm sure this has been answered before (scrolled up a bit and didn't see it so sorry in advance) decent comtacs that won't break the bank?
Used comtac III's for around 300
was looking at those, found walker razors for relatively cheap...i'm assuming they're cheap cause they're not worth a shit yeah?
Probably, not ones I'm familiar with, so most likely, lol
Used comtacs are literally the best cheap option
got a website or anything for used gear? all i can find are new ones
using a run of the mill MICH helmet. well they fit underneath?
Ebay has deals from time to time
So does anyone actually run a baofeng in kit or is that just the general noob go to radio?
Hey, some of us noobs are in here π€
Plenty do because thats all they have/can afford/know how to use but they are the quality of kids toys and have a shitty ui.
Will a dual band 2meter/440 have a decent swr on murs freqs?
Thanks for sharing
Secondary comms up and running π
Just got 6 of these on ebay for $125, what am I in for
Probably a knockoff tbh. Check once you get them
It's from a known seller but definitely will
UV5Rs run about $20 they should be legit, good investment
I'm absolutely new with comms. Would this be worth considering for a small group?
@poorwithagat Sure, depending on the range situation. These operate on ultra high frequencies (UHF: 400-520 MHz) alone, so even without a license they could be used to transmit up to 2 watts on the "Family Radio Service" channels. They would be good for comms in urban environments or rural areas within a mile or two. But because they operate only on UHF, you wouldn't be able to use the unlicensed "Multi-Use Radio Service" (MURS) channels on very high frequencies (VHF), or listen to FM radio, like some other baofengs.
Much appreciation
pay 10 bucks and get a ham radio license. if you use them inna woods you'll probably be ok, it's not worth their resources to triangulate where you are if you're just hunting and camping. *not that I would advocate for doing anything illegal*
I strongly recommend getting your ham license. It's not hard and it's a fun hobby that's useful when SHTF
Whata a good starting radio something i can put on my side or pc
