who here uses a radio to talk to the rest of there team? Also, what brand of radio do you use? Do you use PTT and if so what style switch do you use?

 

[Killer]

Puxing 777, Cheap as dirt, 5watt sending powaah and frequency from 400 to 470 (its also available in other freq. for the US people amoung us)

Using it with a throat mike, and the big button switch (Sniper ptt?)

However, I'm the only one on my team with a decent Radio, so I dont use it much.

Ive been looking at the IASUS but that thing is so damn expensive..

Our team uses Motorola SP50s. They're programmable and you don't have to worry about people overlapping on to our channels because of it. It'll also pick up basic talk about channels, but can broadcast over standard radios because it broadcasts with a lot more power.
I use a throat mic with large ptt button on my assault loadout but I'm looking at getting a bone conduction headset for when running a lighter loadout so I don't have to have anything in my ears.

Silvercrest walkie-talkie. My ptt broke so i just talk into it the normal way.

I use Midland and have a PTT Bravo headset. I seem to be the only person who ever brings radio's so there is only 1 other person to talk. We are trying to get more organized...

 

[woogie]

Saber radios with throat mics.

 

[SixCell]

Puxing px888 400-480mhz
Bowman style headset...

Whole team have those...

+1 Puxing 888. The guys I roll with all swear by them.

 

[the3rdeye88]

How about a link to the Puxing radio's?

AN/PRT 4A need the PRR9 and no one wants to talk to me =*(.

 

[the3rdeye88]

Do they use a one or two pin jack?

 

[nelsonho396]

No freaking idea? It from the vietnam era and I still need to buy a PRR9 which is the receiver. Once I do anyone want to talk to me XD

 

[Grudge]

Everyone on my team has a radio. Either the PUXING PX888 or the Wouxun kG-UVD1P or the FDC 460a. They are all programmable, so we have standard channels (same as the store bought motorolas) and team channels (that are higher frequency).

I use the Cavalvy headset with PTT!

 

[solarisjock]

looks like the Puxing's are rather well regarded, thanks for the input everybody.

For those of you who use throat mic's, how do they perform for you?

 

[Killer]

I personally like the throat mics, since (they say) you can whisper through them.

However i have had trouble with placement. You need to find your sweet spot for clear transmission. (The problem could also lie with low quality throat mics, like mine is)

 

[jake556]

Hope you guys don't mind throwing this question here. I figured it was somewhat on topic.

I've seen a lot of talk in this thread about throat mics. Does anyone have some information or reviews on a quality throat mic? I have always been interested in them, but the ones I've seen in use are pretty much junk.

I'm trying to find an alternative to a single ear mic. Those things prove to be quite painful during any kind of scenario/endurance game.

I have the PX888. Great radio and reliable. The only issue is that the mic is not directly behind the mic hole and you sound slightly muffled. There are some great videos on YouTube that shows you how to open up the case and enlarge the mic hole. I just drilled another tiny hole where the mic is and this radio simply performs. It comes with a basic battery and a higher capacity is available. Get the programming cable to simply programming.

Throat mics,... don't like them. I use a regular external mic. I don't respond to people that talk to me with throat mics because I can't hear them.

Don't buy the Baofeng UV-5R. Had it and dumped it. Got bugs and firmware issues and couldn't get it resolved. Support from the maker in China was non existent.

Throat mics are great if you buy a good one. The IASUS NT3 are top notch and are pretty much guaranteed to work well.

I agree only if players all use quality throat mics and better UHF radios instead of the cheap FRS ones.
