Airsoft Radios - All you need to know about comms.

[@ericreif1032]

Just a heads up. Many of the Baofeng UV-5R radios currently being sold on online marketplaces are updated to comply with FCC regulations and will not transmit on FRS/GMRS/MURS frequencies. There are versions that are GMRS certified, still reasonably priced and capable of battery/antenna/microphone upgrades.

[@faceless.appalachia]

The current ones are easy to factory reset. All you have to do is press and hold PTT, MONI and VFR/MIR buttons while the radio is off and then turn it on. Done. You can now transmit on FRS/GMRS/MURS!

[@NatalinoMini]

They are also very easy to jailbreak lol. so they are still very good.

[@allenhurt02]

You can reset the radio and take off the restriction

[@melanieclements1022]

Great information on each of the different radios. Really liked the footage of the events mixed in too.

[@wg99er]

People thinking this is all tacticool when I have a police scanner with the signal stalker function.

Good info!

Are you going to Copperhead this year?

[@mattvincent4481]

Interested in MilSim West, just wondering a few things: do they rent replicas? Or do I need to bring my own. (Any good websites?). What's good for the "NATO" side in the terms of clothing (I know the style is stipulated in the TASCOP) just wondering if there's good websites to order it. Tl;DR: I'm going to a Milsim what event (maybe) and would love to have websites for the gear I would need. (I'm making an expenditure list.)

Seems like this is your first time playing airsoft, go to a local field first, dont go to milsim west first

@@Soyfunnykids I've played airsoft...just not in an official setting like MSW

[@lfruniique4217]

can i use the harris as a dual comms radio? can i put two frequencies at the same time ? thx

[@anthonyrhoan5585]

Has anyone used BK radios before at any events

[@mkall03]

Do you need an FCC license for the Baofeng radios?

[@chrisdubois36]

No sir, you only need a license to broadcast on certain frequencies, which the baofeng specifically doesn't allow

[@CzechSixTv]

@@chrisdubois36 Um...YES you do need a license to transmit with almost all Baofeng radios*. There is no such thing as 'license free' frequencies, only license free radios(FRS/MURS/CB) which must meet specific standards that UV-5r's and the like do not. FRS radios must have a Part 95b grant from the FCC which requires the following: 1) Narrowband only transmission 2)

[@jetaddict420]

@@CzechSixTv dont listen to this guy the fcc doesnt enforce any of this shit as long as you dont act like a moron on the airwaves

[@Elprofe7171]

Where can I get the Harris replica radio

[@airsoftriotchannel]

I got mine from a buddy of mine. But he said he got his from Ebay

[@FILME_RU]

Just be aware that for the baofeng uv5r by the fcc rules u have not the right to transmit on gmrs/frs radio without a license and you can't transmit on ham frequency without an amateur license and u can't not transmit on any other frequency just if u have special licences

[@bradgarman7562]

I liked, commented, and been subscribed for a while. Do I get a gold star yet?

[@airsoftriotchannel]

You get an Airsoft Riot patch when they come in.
