Looking for a Radio

Where do you learn the proper terminologies for this?

54 and 06 are their team callsigns, Morb is '06'. Now picture using what other people use for their airsoft names, and it doesn't sound as fancy. Lol

This is a good example of how to use 5W radios completely improperly (even if they worked really well for what they were used for):

Our team uses Icoms, notably the F21GM and the F43GT.......awesome radios with great range.

The terrain on our home grounds is quite hilly. Where FRS radios have 'black spots', these have none.

"54, tail car, moving to lane 2"
"06 Rgr"
"54 out"

Suddenly we hear "Control, this is 54, did you call me?"

I broadcast "Convoy go to Tac 2" and we switched channels IMMEDIATELY.

Priceless!

I've seen these in action, they're great little units. I've also used the Icom F21BR, which is a comparable but slightly scaled down version of these radios. Programming was somewhat more involved, but they were an excellent radio.
I now use an Abel 378, which is a Kenwood 370 series clone. In fact after cracking one open it was all Kenwood inside. These are a great radio, very programmable, 5 watts or any portion up to it, wide/narrow band, you name it. They are programmable by computer or through the front panel, which is easier and faster. They're also very hackable, and can do tons more after a few easy modifications. BCAC had a group order on these a few years ago, and they proved themselves to be an incredible little radio setup. I highly recommend them.

Thank you for the comments on the radios you use.

I'll dig up some info on those.

Much appreciated!!
