I bought this rugged headset and radio for our race team and I gotta say this thing work’s amazing

[@Joeteck]

Comment pinned!!

[@davecarsley8773]

Wow... what a totally unbiased and helpful comparison. Lol

[@kendallkemp7834]

Can you plug the rugged directly into the RE3000 with a splitter and communicate with another headset?

[@jonathangrissop7688]

@joeteck you know the baofeng you can use to listen to the drivers just ike the scanner

[@Joeteck]

Yes, we are aware. 454 Mhz for the commentator. But we have the RE3000 devices and downloads the frequency list there. No manually entering drivers. We just left Dover for the race today

[@tammytrach2094]

@Joeteck Just got back from Dover and couldn't hear a blessed thing! I have the RE3000 scanner and the Rugged tethered headset H80. I assume you could hear at Dover when you were there. Thought the Rugged phones with the RE scanner was the problem. Doesn't seem like it based on your review. Any tips?

[@BigLockFromTheRock]

I already have a RE scanner. Do I need a Kenwood cord and 3mm cord tethered to listen to the scanner and also communicate with a friend for tge Rugged headset to work?

[@sayuncle9631]

Damn😮 My dude can sell!! Holy f!! Kicks butt and it’s cheap?!? Sold

[@Joeteck]

Huge. I use them every time I go to Dover! Thanks for the comment!!

[@jordihester6286]

Nascar transmits the live feed of the races on 454.000 if you want to listen in.

[@Joeteck]

We have scanners for that

[@Hyperious_in_the_air]

I use the UV-5R for aviation. How's the microphone sound in loud environments?

[@jordihester6286]

Just fine.

[@andrewwhite2863]

Do both headsets work with the Uniden bc125at?

[@itsbrandong2337]

I’m going to nascar here in Los Angeles I got my tickets and I also bought a racing electronic scanner hopefully it’s worth it

[@cloudplays1]

I bough on the recommendation of this video the headset but, my issue is i guess i have a radio shack scanner Pro-444 and when i plug it into the left ear connection via 3.5mm male to male cable i don't hear the scanner on the headset at all. Do you know if rugged has a list of compatible scanners?

[@Joeteck]

Its mono output. Probably going out on the wrong channel for the headset. You may need to make a custom cable.

[@cloudplays1]

@@Joeteck OK gonna get a mono cable and try that. The one i''ve got is a stereo hopefully that ill fix it.

[@Joeteck]

@@cloudplays1 the headsets are mono. The out of the scanner may be on the wrong output channel for the rugged use. Say the scanner outputs on the right. But the headset can only hear from an input from the left. Guessing of course. Only logical explanation of your problem.

[@cloudplays1]

@@Joeteck Yes sir. 100% correct i got a RE mono male to male cable and now the scanner is coming though on that headset. Thanks again for the video. You are right these headset are as nice as RE headsets but for a fraction of the price and you have the 2 way radio option. Love this headset.

[@Joeteck]

@@cloudplays1 i am so very happy it worked out for you!!! Enjoy them in good health! Thanks for watching.

[@carterrobertson6856]

Which scanner do I need to get to listen to the drivers and crew?

[@Joeteck]

RE3000, the best scanner. Downloads all frequencies over RF while at any RE booth

[@jordihester6286]

Joeteck Baofeng radio.

[@hashtagjustadad5110]

So just so I’m clear, this set up with a gmrs will allow to communicate and not be tethered?

[@Joeteck]

Correct. Need a valid GMRS license

[@Dubya556]

Did you have a separate frequency used for communicating with each other thay wasn't used by the drivers/track? I'm curious because I'd like to try this setup but I'm not sure how to prevent interference.

[@Joeteck]

Correct. We are HAM and GMRS operator's. We could use anything we wanted.. on UHF / VHF in our band.

[@Dubya556]

@@Joeteck Gotcha, I'm licensed as well. Wasn't sure if you were using dual watch or manually switching freq's. Appreciate it!

[@Joeteck]

@@Dubya556 we each have a separate RE 3000 scanner as well.

[@Joeteck]

@@Dubya556 we like the rugged headsets better as we can add either a Kenwood, MD-380, or UV5R radio. We used low power the entire time and stayed on VHF 144.905 the entire time. Range was amazing

[@Dubya556]

@@Joeteck Awesome, thanks again. I think I will pick these up for our next race in July and try your setup. Definitely seems to be a better option than what we've been using.

[@nodd85]

Nice review

[@tonkatoy06]

Bought cables n headset but can't get them to work with the midland xtra talk gxt 1000

[@Joeteck]

Because it's probably not compatible. Needs to be identical to the Kenwood

[@mrmoncherz2574]

Is their a way to hook this up to a computer use as a gaming headset? I imagine the quality of both of these products are through the roof

[@rayparsons5029]

I already have the racing electronics scanner. Is there a way to use the scanner and Baofeng together?

[@Joeteck]

I already have them too. You cant use the radio with the R.E. headsets which is why we purchased the Rugged Headsets. They offer the Kenwood radio connection however the RE dont, they were made to be tethered only.

[@jordihester6286]

Yes but with the rugged headset.

[@terryblitchington645]

I have question.i bought racing electronic headsets from a guy on marketplace.got 7 headsets.i bought some cheap baofeng 16 channel radios.tgey came with ear piece and mic but wanted to use the headsets.well headset cords won't plug into baofang units.ti close together for mic and phone.is there a cable I can buy that will hook to baofend888 radio to racing electronic headset

[@Joeteck]

No, they do not make that cable for those headsets. That is the reason why we went with the Rugged

[@terryblitchington645]

Cabli looks exactly like the rugged trail.might buy one to see if it will work.only 23 bucks

[@Jay_Mac1775]

So with the uv54 can you have it where you only talk to others you want instead of random people? I’m assuming so

[@Joeteck]

Random people? No.. this is so you are not tethered with a wire. My concept and idea..

[@davecarsley8773]

And no answer was given to the question.

[@Jay_Mac1775]

@@davecarsley8773 eh it was answered but in the most vague English teacher manner

[@GFire25]

So can I be plugged in to the scanner and the 2 way at the same time? My wife doesn't want to hear the scanner but I do and still want 2 way communication with her.

[@Joeteck]

Which headset?

[@GFire25]

@@Joeteck with the rugged using the racing electronics scanner. Can I use the 2 way in the description and plug the scanner into my headset using the 3.5mm at the same time?

[@Joeteck]

@@GFire25yes, everything is independent

[@GFire25]

@@Joeteck awesome thank you. She can just listen to music or something lol

[@Joeteck]

@@GFire25 correct... lol

[@derekmyers697]

Will this still work if I have a fan vision at my radio?

[@jordihester6286]

Yes

[@jordanhacker4694]

Can I use 2 Rugged headsets as an intercom and plug into a uniden scanner? The scanner is obviously receive only so it won’t work with that dual style plug. Fellow ham operator. 73

[@Joeteck]

Yes, the kit we got uses the kenwood style plug. But you can get one that goes between the two..we didn't want to be tethered.

[@jordanhacker4694]

Joeteck would it work as an intercom when tethered despite not having a 9V battery? I don’t see how it could work as a tethered intercom without some source of power - it would be independent of the scanner which has no input/PTT.

[@hashtagjustadad5110]

This question was asked 3 years ago so I’m hopeful that you got an answer by now. If so, what was the answer? Will it work even though there is no power source?

[@jamesswanson1139]

Have much are they today?

[@bagnome]

Does the UV-5R require a license for transmitting?

[@Joeteck]

Yes, you have to be a amateur radio operator. Which I am.. ;) Cool right??

[@ericdriggans4262]

@@Joeteck Pretty stupid video considering most people aren't!

[@Joeteck]

@@ericdriggans4262 Not really.

[@rc9597]

Thanks for the video I first thought if this was not allowed since nascar is selling the option to listen to the radios on their app

[@Joeteck]

Totally allowed

[@kamikazekunze]

Push to talk? Holy cow…..need voice activated.

[@tjohn913]

Can't compare the two as they are different. The Racing Electronics system allows for tethered intercom which is what the 9v battery is all about. You have to have power to do that. Simple. My comment is mainly directed to Rugged Radios headsets. I bought an H80, went to a race, and it was TERRIBLE for intercom. There was absolutely NO noise cancellation. Even with the microphone all but in my mouth. Compared to the racing electronics headset, where you could hear those users talking without deafening sound, you couldn't with the Rugged Radios headset. Maybe mine was defective, either way, don't recommend them. I do like what you propose with using 2m/440Mhz transceivers as being tethered can be a pain. AND you can keep talking - even when one leaves the seats. Even for this, I just can't recommend Rugged Radios. They seem to have quality control issues. I'm curious how your noise cancellation worked. I was at a smaller track where noise was constant. Looked like you were at a larger track.

[@Joeteck]

Thats ok, because I can recommend them. They are awesome

[@ZaxCal]

What you aren’t telling people is that you have to be a ham radio operator to do your method. Trash review.

[@Joeteck]

Not trash.. or FRS/GMRS.. take off your blinders and think outside the box

[@Joeteck]

Actually I did, you didn't watch the video. Talking trash without knowing. 2:03.. listen carefully so you can understand this time.
