Been using these for UWL with covert PTT mic sets - performed really well last time out

Look pretty good, will research them a bit more and check them out if I can, cheers.

FYI

Have seen them going on eBay with a 2 x headsets and 2 x receivers for about £70.

We were fortunate to pick up 3 pairs of XTR446's + chargers for £70

Headsets were around an extra £10 each

Lucky you, ideally I could do with 3 so it is a pain that most radio systems come in pairs or singular devices.

Hiya we use a set of 8 of these for woodsball http://www.lusonic.com/product-79-Stabo-650-Walkie-Talkies
With PTT that work pretty well.
Nothing really beats a bit of command and control and some good old fire control orders though but they are handy for a bit of sneaky beaky.
