3-4 way communication solutions?

[cactus]

Hi guys,
Again i have another question that must be raised.

What should i do with regards to communications?

Im looking for a set of 2 "walkie talkies and mic+earpiece". I would be splitting the price with my friend, but one or two of my other mates have said they might look into it depending the price.

I would like it to be compatible for most uk sites with regards to operating distance.

Any suggestions/prices

Pm me if you have links (as long as they don't violate ZeroIn rules)

Thanks.

I'd say one of the best is the Motorola XTN446; excellent radios with up to 2 mile range and include private scrambled channel options.

You can pick them up for good prices on eBay.

...or a Moto XTR446 - slightly cheaper.

To be honest, I'd get anything that uses the Talkabout, single 2.5mm pin connector as these seem to be the most common when it comes to headsets etc.

I have a t-cube motion tracker like the ones in aliens or i do have 2 motorola walkie talkies that work just fine
the motion tracker co-ordinates team attack where-as these are robust walkie talkies operating on a few different frequencies, al digital and dopping one will not harm it even on gravel.

Re: 3-4 way communication solutions?

The trackers are absolute rip offs, and aren't really that useful (opinion, which is what a lot of other people say) - I'd hope that you weren't recommending them!

I have to agree with Gaffa the Moto XTR446 is a good choice, slightly cheaper than the XTN446.

Thanks for the feedback guys, Ive just been told that my mate and his friend both have some, but if i were to get a moto xtr446, could that connect with their ones. Yes i sound pretty dumb. But i wouldn't like to make a mistake. Ha.

Re: 3-4 way communication solutions?

The motion tracker looks good, But only if money grew on trees.
And i pefer radios/walkies because you can be more precicse, for example;
Say i was defending a checkpoint, and i was under heavy fire, my friends wouldn't know that if i was using a tracker, where as with the radio they would obviously know.

But yeah, looks like a little fun toy to have.
Possibly useful for snipers.

But don't we wish the heartbeat sensor was real? :D

Re: 3-4 way communication solutions?

As long as your friends radios are PMR 446 compatible, then the XTR will work.

Stupid question, but.... how do i know if they are PMR 446 compatible?

Damn straight I wish the heartbeat sensor was real but the motion tracker cost a lot but silent so do sniper rifles like... a DSR-1, no walkie talkies are good, in-expensive and have a good frequency, does anyone else own a motion tracker?
