I played at the Reading Mall fir the second time today. This time I'd bought some comms to keep in touch with friends. But what I didn't do was spend a fortune on the gear.
The essential Baofeng UV-5R radio
A Sundely/Nagoya whip antenna
Coodio motorcycle PTT headset
Condor radio pouch
I didn't want to go down the helmet, headsets etc. Too big and clunky. So wanted to go cheap and functional.
So I hacked the mic of the headset a bit and re-soldered the wires back on after I snapped them off. Green = positive
I then sewed the headset onto my One Tigris foldable mask. and used double sided tap to position the mic. I still need to tidy that up a bit. But it worked like a charm. Bit of cohesive camo tape to hold the headsets in place and then route the wiring and push to talk through my molle vest.
I'm quite please with it.
