I meant headphones that plug into a radio, not themselves act as a radio.

Can someone show me to a dual band antenna for 2m/440 that is actually resonant on both bands?

Nagoya NA-320A

Just make sure you buy a real one, there are fakes out there that suck.

@EDDSkitz experiencing the fake as we speak

Oof... yeah, they reallllly suck

Peltors connect to a radio

Unless I’m confusing what y’all said

Peltor comtac's can... you just need the right PTT for your radio. They make some without comms that are much cheaper, but are just electronic earmuffs

Correct

I got the dual comms

What radio you have?

UV-5T

I haven’t upgraded yet, need a recommendation if you’ve got one

You'll need that to use peltors with civilian radios

The baofeng radios are more than most would ever need in reality... they have other models that are waterproof

Well it’s actually kit so I need something decent

It’s on my list

I’ve got a peltor ptt for my .mil radio

I have a ton of expensive kit, still run a baofeng 🤷‍♂️

The military radios don't need the amplifier

Ik that’s the only reason I’m keeping the ptt

Most people don't have nice radios that do encryption, so unless you're gonna buy a few thousands of dollars of radios to hand out, you really get no benefit from expensive radios.

I just want something that if I go Prone it won’t break

Well, there is another option, there is a replica if a Harris 152 out there, runs about $300, but works like a baofeng. The up side is that it's solid aluminum shell, 10 watts, and waterproof... even seen a guy shoot one with a pistol and it kept going. Takes all the real military accessories

6 pin?

I haven't broke any if my baofeng radios while running and gunning, and I actually do work in my kit unlike many. But I also run a kydex holster from Milwaukee Custom Kydex.

Yeah, 6 pin... I'll send a link.

If you get one of those do NOT buy from any other seller than that link, they all get intercepted by customs. That guy uses DHL and they always make it through.

Functionally it's still just a baofeng dual band radio, but it uses different circuitry

So it’s a 10w?

Yeah, tested too

Sweet

Was thinking ab getting the b8-8hp but it that one is 10 I’ll just save up

They even make a 117 manpack replica too if you wanna carry around a 10 pound baofeng 😂

They take genuine thales batteries too, lasts a week using a bunch every day

Damn

Done a few week long training things and my buddy never changed his battery
