Royals · Posted: Mon Oct 12, 2009 1:08 pm Post subject: Radios and Vest

So I saw somewhere about a list and order of equipment that should be bought. I am pretty much down to needing radios so i was doing a little bit of searching on the web.

I found these: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos...&m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&v=glance

I think these will work fine but I'd like to get your opinions on them.

Also, I was on the Rap4 website and I saw their vests were on sale for $35 bucks (Not including upgrades). Should I invest in this or should I hold out. I already have a Gen X vest but if I ever join up with Delta I'd like to have the gear to boot.

We use UHF radios rather than FRS/GMRS now. Most people use FRS/GMRS, so we went with something they can't listen in on. For the UHFs there's a thread here somewhere with the details.

If you want an FRS/GMRS I have all kinds I'd bought before we made the change that I would sell cheap.

That's a good price on the RAP4 vest, but if you make the team I'm sure we can beat it.

Well, I'd like to be able to communicate with you guys. What's more, I'd like to make the team.

Even from the one game I played yesterday communication was the key to our victory. Radios would have made things ten times better but we used runners for communication.

So, in hopes of joining Delta I will hold off on buying that vest.

We have extra radios for player to use until can get yours, average price is $80.00. OD

The model you want is the Puxing PX 777 - be sure you get UHF, not VHF.

I have to tell you, you guys are awesome.

It's getting to be crunch time at my work so I will be working the next two weekends. I'm sure I can put some of that extra income towards a radio and a pending vest/uniform.

Guys, our team is looking to upgrade radios...

Why did you choose UHF over VHF, or what is the difference? Are these radios encrypted or you just have privacy because everyone else uses GMRS?

What made you choose the Puxing PX 777, and how is headset availability (are they dual pin)?

If you could help me get started I would appreciate it!

We went with UHF because the teams we operate with at Sherwood already had it- there's not a big difference in price, and for paintball there's no difference in performance.

The PX 777 PLUS has encryption, iirc, but the other teams don't have it and UHF is obscure enough that we don't worry about monitoring by the other team. The FCC, on the other hand... Wink

We went with Puxing because they are reliable and cheap, and the vendor OD linked to is fast. Any Kenwood 2-pin accessory will work with them.

There was a crew playing for the opposition Sherwood that was HEAVY on monitoring our FRS/GMRS comms and using them against us. I haven't seen much evidence that they are still doing this the last two years, but we've also been using more and more UHF, so maybe they're still out there listening to the players who aren't on the UHF command channels.

Is this coming for the guys that where at Sherwood this weekend?

The UHF radios have so much more penetrating power through the heavy wood that all others. We have not had any problems communicating with other on large fields like Sherwood. I would not buy anything else.

Fet let your guys know that they played well at Sherwood this weekend and I would run with them anytime. OD

Well, I am all ready to order my vest and radio. I've been killing the OT at work and these 60 hour weeks are paying off.

If we need to order anything else let me know so we can do one big order.

This is what I will need/want in order, membership pending.

Radio
Vest
BDU/Team Camo
12" Lapco Apex Ready Barrel to replace my 8"
Tactical Hopper
Red Dot Scope
Stock A5 Grip
Back Up Marker (Most likely another A-5)

Tell me if this sounds about right. I already have my A-5 with a SAW stock, Apex Barrel, 2pt sling, raised sight rail, remote coil, 2x 20oz tanks, tactical vest, woodland camo, mask.
