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
R
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.
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.
Sweet
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
Maybe if I had a commo guy I’d reccomend it lol
They are actually made for the airsoft milsim guys
But well worth the money
I keep spending my money on other Gucci gear or else I'd have one, lol
