I may have to look into getting the amature license now i was interested in it before but you all sold me on it now. I know this one is a two-way comm but does anyone use Luiton walkies for communication or practice with them or is it just better to use HAM
I got them for bug-out bags because I was expecting March and most of April to be much worse than it actually was
All I have is the beofang 5
i want the UV-5R really badly I have seen nothing but great reviews on it
but I also want a dual band radio too ( i know those boxes will typically be more expensive but I feel like I'd enjoy learning with that a bit more)
@KaiBran - definitely look into a dual band radio. The more spectrum you can carry in one rig the less you have to carry (one radio instead of two, or three).
I mean just looking online Im also thinking about them being portable and it doesnt look like it matters either way as long as you have a power source for the dual band on the go or at your F.O.B
Anyone know a less expensive alternative to the peltor comtac hearing pro? Don't wanna drop a grand on ear muffs
Safariland headphone adapters under your normal ear pro

Got the invite from the comms group. Sup y'all?
Nice to meet you
Same to you, glad to be here
Awesome. Make sure you head over to <#704856167318552647> to get situated with your states
What’s up
Oh hey simple
Hey crye
Straight vibin chief
I hear that
Got a steal on a peltor comtac3 set, only rub is its set up for 6 pin, what radio would y'all suggest? Or should I get a different ptt adapter
6 pin is the most common plug??
Wait. 6 pin would be the ptt. Is it a TP120 or NATO downlead
Nato
Some day I'm gonna know what that means
NATO plugs are pretty rare stateside. Thats a TP120, which almost all PTT’s interface with
The NATO plug is more like the old school MSA plug
This is what I have coming
That’s TP120
You can either get a different PTT, or get a 6Pin>baoefeng, etc adapter
Roger that, thanks for clearing that up for me. Heard bao was kind of poopoo, what's a good mid price range piece?
Uh I’m not the most knowledgeable on that one. I have work radios and then run UV5R’s for short range civ comms, but I treat those are temporary/throw away comm
They gonna hold up to getting wet in the field?
I mean wet is relative. Can’t take them shits diving for sure. Probably not as good as something like a 152 or a kenwood
Talking more rain and the occasional puddle submersion
So I have an Earmor m31 headset but it doesn’t seem to have microphones compatibility. Anyone messed with this before? I usually use a standard PTT
