Its just standard system, a feature on these walkie talkies I'm using.

What is the model of the walkie talkies you have?

They have privacy channels, low power mode, rechargeable batteries, and a compatible throat mic.

i figured out. So I will be trooping this saturday with this setup and I will take a video so you can see how it works in real situation.

[Fumanchewie[TK]]

Thanks Matt for sharing your setup. It looks and sounds promising.

 

Ed do you have the same setup? Looking forward to seeing your video too.

[Dark PWF[Staff]]

Any update on that video yet, Ed?

 

Curious to see how it worked out.

[Luis.J.Trevino[TK]]

Any trooping experience with this setup?

[Fumanchewie[TK]]

I bought this same set up and it arrived yesterday. I did not get to play around with it too much but so far I am pleased. There are a ton of privacy channels and settings. It does get loud but that may be different once it is behind my chest plate and I am in a crowd. Using the throat mic there is a slight lag that tends to cut off the first word I speak but I think I just need to practice with it more.

Haha just be careful you don't pull an Emerson Fittipaldi with that throat mic.

First troop went well. It took me a minute to get the neck seal and mic placed correctly to prevent from going off on it's own from time to time, but no more than a normal mic with VOX setup. I'm trooping DragonCon next weekend and will have a chance to really put it though its paces, and try out some more push-to-talk mode.

Have you had any more successes with this setup?  It's a brilliant idea, and it seems like the thing for those of use without the time and/or budget to make the snazzier setups into a thing.  $40 & shipping isn't a bad deal for an out-of-the-box solution.

I love it!!! Thanks for sharing. Anxiously waiting for updates on your test run!

Very nice! Think I will try this in my first ESB TK. :-)

@gamesforbreakfast Thank you for sharing this idea! Very budget-friendly method

 

[StructureBD[TK]]

I purchased the throat mic and the walkie talkies. Very easy set up and it works great! Very pleased. Many thanks, Matt.:-)

Kinda curious about this set-up. How hard is it to adjust the channels while wearing the armor, to go from open conversation to a private one (say with a handler or another trooper) ?

[gamesforbreakfast]

The gloves make switching channels difficult, I also keep my underthe chest plate. clipping to the belt would probably help.

After not being very happy with my aker, I've decided to try this setup. I already have the walkies at home and next week I'll test them in a troop.

Have you thought of buying a ROM/FX kit?

Have you thought of buying a ROM/FX kit?

 

The kit might be great but does anyone know if it is worth $196.00 plus shipping?

I think so. Hop on over to my helmet electronics thread, then scroll down to my video demonstration. It's not very long but you'll get the idea.

I'll test it next thursday. My first impression at home: I like the sound but it looks like the volume won't be loud enough...

[toybiz[TK]]

If the walkie talkies have an earphone output, how about plugging that into a personal PA amp, like the Aker? That should give you plenty of volume!

I had the same idea ;-)

But first I'll test it trooping. Today I made some adjustments and it sounds better and louder.
