The only downside is that they're bright yellow, so you need to put them in a pouch if you're going to conceal them. But they do the T80 Hunters as well which are dark green, but they're double the price and apart from the colour I really can't work out the difference! Just ordered a pair of theese this morning now as there were like a tenner extra. I'm just gonna get some sniper tape to cover the yellow with. With get a ppt and proper headset in couple of months time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CARBr6 Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Hey. Sorry to bring this thread up again, but I didn't want to start another one, when I have basically the same question! So, I've read through this, for the time being I am just looking at comms to sit on my vest as part of the "look", but if I'm spending money then it may as well be of some use later down the line. To this end, would I be best off with the UV5R thingy mentioned above? I want it to sit in a pouch on my belt with a handheld speaker coming over my shoulder (yep, I run a LE loadout), I have found this in eBay and like the price. http://r.ebay.com/TT28i3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators djben9 Posted January 16, 2018 Moderators Share Posted January 16, 2018 Have a read of the radio topics. The license costs £75 for 5 years, 15 frequencies of which 5 you dont need takes about 10 mins to set up online and get them emailed to you you can’t use UV5R with PMR. I believe you can only listen or something It’s really down to what youll use it for and with who, I have the license, 2 radios and a friend with one programmed in. sorry short answer but on train home from London and hard to type on phone!!! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But to do so is an offence (unless they fully modify to pmr specifications and power limits) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators djben9 Posted January 16, 2018 Moderators Share Posted January 16, 2018 .....if he does and gets caught we are not to blame!! Lol tbh the license is cheap over 5 years and means you can use them anywhere as well.... even Tesco with the kids .... but if your in a game you can use someone’s license for the day and join the team , I’ve done that before all really down to what you like, accessories you want and when / want you will use them for etc but as mentioned, there are restrictions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CARBr6 Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Thanks guys. I agree with djben9, £75 for 5 years is pretty good. So, I'll just leave it turned off for most games but then when I get to a point of needing/wanting to have working comms I can either borrow someone's paid for frequency or buy my own. I tend to airsoft with two friends so it may be that we split the cost between us which will work out much better. With that in mind I have gone for the Baofeng UV-5R with handheld mic/speaker to go with my US Marshal impression. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is a full on radio system and you need to pass an exam then get your free licence PMR is Private Mobile Radio and is the unllicenced / free ‘personal’ walkie talkie system in the UK The business licence gives the ability to operate walkie talkies etc, at different frequencies and at a higher power then PMR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know I lot if people who run without liensces. I think there has been every few if aby convictions with radio as it very hard to prove what you were doing. Not saying what you should or shouldn't do. I'm sure your old enough to make your own. Decisions. I got my liensce for peace (about 6 months ago) of mind but I no longer play games that I no longer need a radio for seem like a wasted 75 quid now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators djben9 Posted January 21, 2018 Moderators Share Posted January 21, 2018 I don’t always use my radios for games, handy at other times as well..... Conviction or no convictions, like other areas of Airsoft it’s best to follow the law to avoid the spotlight shone on us more!!! only 4 years left!
