Army3.5 Posted February 18, 2013 Posted February 18, 2013 Suggestions for good set of radio's, need to have either channel lock or lots of channels so can't have people listening in
Supporters Nutster Posted February 18, 2013 Supporters Posted February 18, 2013 I use a pair of Motorola xtr446's, excellent radios for the price
RR01 Posted February 18, 2013 Posted February 18, 2013 If you are talking about PMR446 then you can't really stop anyone listening in. Using the sub-channels only cuts out others who are not using the sub-channel from coming through on your handset, e.g. using Channel 4, sub-channel 12, just means you will hear only people on that frequency and using that sub-channel. However, you are broadcasting on Channel 4, so anyone with a radio handset set to Channel 4 will hear what you are saying, provided they haven't selected a sub-channel. The sub-channels just squelch out anyone not using the same sub-channel. If you want to be overheard less when playing airsoft, see if you can find a couple of CB portable handsets. I doubt anyone else would be using those, so you would be unlikely to be overheard. Other than that you could pay the licence fee and get a business quality handset, although the cost would go up considerably.
