Ian B Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 HI Nigel,A few of us use the Baofeng UV-5R https://www.amazon.co.uk/BaoFeng-UV-5R-136-174-400-480-Dual-Band/dp/B007HH6RR4/ And I really like the Microcom3 earsets from Sensorcom www.sensorcom.com I recommend the custom moulded eartips for them that you can get done at Sensorcom in Beckenham as well They are generally linked together via an intercom unit such as a Starcom DigitalIt could be possible to use a PMR radio and just the Microcom3, with a Push-to-Talk (PTT) button but you'd ned to ask Sensorcom to fit the plug for the PMR and a lead to a PTT button (if you ring Sensorcom ask for Howard and mention my name ). If they have problems I may be able to help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ. Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 I am using the Baofeng UV-5R Ian mentions with my Starcom digital. The push to talk button and Kenwood cable from Starcom cost twice as much as the radio did, but it works well. For a headset, I used the Starcom open face kit and fitted it into the green 3m peltor ear defenders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
