Wow! I'm not sure how this has only one reply. Great post. When I made that thread (which kind of got turned to shit as all my photobucket pics were lost) I never expected to get so much interest on the radio. After all, it was a thread with a rifle, PC, optic, radio, etc etc.

Outlander is the one who put me on to that radio. People like to say "Oh, Airsoft? Pass!" until I drop my radio in the ocean and then challenge them to do the same with their "non-airsoft" Hytera/Motorola/BAOFENG. When they refuse I say "Ok, no sweat. Where do I plug the Peltors in on yours?"

You will love the blade antenna. I have NO SHIT reached almost eight miles in the most densely populated area in the 3rd most populous state during daylight hours using GMRS freqs with that antenna and that radio.
