Selling loads of PRR's on Ebay. Seems legit. Ah well, as tax payers, we have already paid for them eh?
 
I'll fire him an email and see what occurs. Wait out.

Lets face it, the Motorola GP380 is BEGGING to be converted into a PRC152 or similar


 
 
The GP380 could be programmed to 446 channels, and on low power (1 Watt) wouldn't hurt anyone in reality. However, to stay within the letter of the law, a licence would be required, and if going down that route, a separate frequency / selection of frequencies would make sence.
 
Again, just throwing ideas out there so you guys can chew it up and point out any problems.

I'm lucky in that the PRR is also correct for my early USMC kit.
 
For PRR bodies : http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Genuine-CLEAN-grade-C-Prc-343-bowman-H4855-Prr-100-WORKING-body-/221574707983?pt=UK_ConsumerElectronics_SpecialistRadioEquipment_SM&hash=item3396e1bb0f
 
The seller has a lot of PRR related stuff for sale, I'm sure if you contacted him he'd be able to source empty bodies if you wanted to go into converting them.

In essence, yeah. I'd like a connector for real Bowman's as you said. Thats the only reason I've not bought a surplus one.
 
I personally (if its do-able) would love a PRR with pmr guts so that I could keep my kit accurate but not need everyone else I want to speak to using a PRR also.

Decent headset:
We still had quite a lot of clansman kit when I left. We were seeing the odd bit of Bowman pop up from time to time such as PRR. The headset that came with the PRR was the only bit of kit that had that headset at the time (as far as I saw) so I shall refer to it as "the bowman headset"
 

 
Everyone uses these style of headsets now. There seems to be a million different types in circulation.
Is this what you meant?
The ones I used (real steel) were lightweight, unbreakable, submersible (I fell in a river to test) and made your ear and cheek sweat like a %$£*.
 
Personally, if I was going to go down this route, I would buy genuine Bowman from ebay, There is some terrible quality shite coming from china, and I'd rather spend £40 on something that works, than £10 on something that breaks 5 minutes into the first skirmish.
 
The issue would be converting from Bowman connectors to your choice of radio. A simple adaptor cable could be made with your choice of PTT (if you want an external PTT).
