I was just wondering where I might find a good radio for a good price. This will definitely come in handy for milsim games. If my search wasn't sufficient, point me towards a helpful thread. Thanks.

Motorola Talkabout or Midland of the same value/quality, which is about $40.
There's several threads on this, so I'm not really going to go into more detail.

I agree with Tex. Get something affordable first so at least you will be able to attend games and have a radio to use. Then once you think it's time to get a Bigger-Better radio, then make the investment in a higher quality Comms system. The radio's that usually use at public games is my trusty old Cobra 2-ways. I've had them for a a couple years now and they always get along with other people's radios at games.

Those radios should be sufficient, but I wouldn't bother with the headset. That one likely wouldn't be very comfortable to wear while airsofting.

Go to radioshack and pick up a set of TALKABOUTS. Not just any motorola. $30-$40 per radio, so $80 for the pair, not a cheap $40 for the pair like you're looking at. Don't skimp out on radios, it'll only piss you off in the end. www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3251228They're even on sale.

Right, you either get a GOOD radio, or stick to a guy/squad that already HAS a good radio, which chances are you'll be doing already anyway.

Of all places I didn't look, it was Radioshack. Now I just feel like an idiot. Those look good Tex. Thanks.
