So you're Angel, nice meeting you the other day

 

Wat model is this? It looks pretty cool

 

^^^

 

Rofl didn't think the radio was that damn small LOL I'm probly gunna order one and give it to a buddie, are the batteries worth a shit? How bout the volume on the speaker? That'd be my only concern.

 

I know this spare....

 

That radio company is cheap but works, I have one and I must say they work well.

 

You cant get a better deal for the package, its a MIL spec radio that take abuse, easy to setup good amount of power and easy to tune. Cost vs performance is a very good ratio.

Its not always, tuning vs setup, antenna, coax and radio all play a part.

 

This is decieving for us normal sized people... You are like 7' tall...

 

Jezus, dont lose it. Will it transmit 5w?

Leo if you want a radio that you can get the headset and pushbutton from Baja Designs. That thing aint gonna work in your helmet, lol. That is unless you can get some sort of setup for it, that little mic/headset is gonna be smashed to your head in your helmet if you can even get it on, wont be very comfortable.

Check out the Icom V-8 I was looking for over a year before I got that setup, now all my racing / baja buddies run them, best deal out there!

That little one is pretty cool for a backup though.

The headset you can get goes into the helmet permanently and has a mic by your mouth, same stuff used in Helos so its very high quality stuff.

Me and my wife use them too when riding together so I can tell here if its OK to proceed when the trial gets tough, really good thing to have.

 

Wow that thing is only $30 with everything, I would get one for a backup!

My Icom with rechargeable batteries, and the BD headset was close to $300 after all said and done, but its Pro Quality race team comms stuff, actually inexpensive compared to a lot of the other stuff out there and will out perform it.

 

From my experience Icom's handheld are ok at best. Honestly this little thing works better.

 

Being an ICOM customer for over 30years, their HT's have seen their fair share of issues.

 

They are the only brand ill run in the truck though, the V8000 is by far my favorite radio

 

without a doubt a very solid radio, I have a multi in the truck IC706MKIIG that has been in 3 trucks and never an issue.

 

We had a V8000 on the dash of the race truck (no windshield) for 3 seasons and the thing worked perfect, looked like it had been to hell in back though.

 

Something to consider. this one does 4 watts

$19 BAOFENG UV-5R Dual Band Two Way Radio (Black), 144-148MHz & 420-450MHz

Also a good choice, my buddy bought that one also to compare, the old one works way better
