SERE CHALLENGE
www.gruntproof...
I have to admit, I kinda like the amplified audio of the Walker Razor. I can hear a rattle snake crawling through the grass... literally... have done it. I get your complaint that when your out in the field it doesn't sound real, and if a rock rolls off trail it sounds really loud. The question is: can I hear the enemy walking toward me, as I am walking toward them in the field better with or without the Walker Razor? Need to test that. CARRY ON!!!
In my first force on force training using Walkers. I threw them off in the first contact because I couldn't tell where all the yelling was coming from.
Walker razors don't have directional sound. It's amplified but that's it. Great for the range cuz that's what they are designed for but would never recommend using them over my natural hearing if I was trying to stay aware of my surroundings
So do Peltors have directional audio? With a .223 who cares... just run without hearing protection (consult your doctor), but if packing something bigger.. yikes... need ear protection.
There should be a top helmet mounted 360 degree mic with brains and amplification so you can hear a rattle snake crawling through the sage brush 50 yards away, AND tell what direction, AND if a big noise goes off right next to you, you are not deaf afterwards...? What is that gear?
@@lieutenantcolonelnicholson9228 yes peltors do have directional sound. I think the cheapest you can go and still get directional sound is Howard light sport impacts if you're interested but the quality isn't as good as peltors but is a fraction of the price
@@lieutenantcolonelnicholson9228 OPMOD rifleman’s are directional and way cheaper
I love your pragmatic and practical approach to this content.
Nice video. We agree the Baofeng radio is AWESOME! The only disadvantage to the Baofeng to something like a Yaesu FT-60 is signal saturation. What that means, as I understand it (Extra-HAM) is that if there are a whole bunch of people transmitting on or near the same frequency that your operating on with the Baofeng it can get overloaded and fail... so I hear, not proven by me. What is proven by me is the Baofeng is awesome and can take a beating, hold a charge, has good range. I usually roll with the Walker Razor head set bolted on my Hard Head Veteran bullet resistant helmet. Ya, not comfortable at all ear phones. Feels like wires jamming into my head as well. But PELTOR! Dude what are they... didn't look $300 guess. May dump hearing protection 223 isn't that loud. CARRY ON!!!
I'm a big fan of "bone conduction" headsets for being able to hear all ambient noise as expected while still hearing comms clearly. Often wearing bone conduction+ in-ear or over the ear (or all three) at the same time. The ham radio connector is called a k1, so googling k1 and bone conduction for some ideas.
I picked up a Baofeng UV-17R Plus. Does AM and a few other things than the tradition uv5r
Very cool. Getting my MAG behind getting certified for HAM.
@@larrygibson9273 ,keep pushing. Or, use GMRS to help them see the possibilities
I dont even sweat getting an uncle sam permission slip, just learn how to use them. Baofeng UV-5Rs can transmit on MURS freqs which dont even require a license. :)
Good for you! At the very least some people will learn something new, at the best lives may be saved! CARRY ON!!!
Have you ever noticed how much stuff falls off of a truck?
Roads must be made of magnets...idk...
The SORDIN and the HF2 is what we’re using too! Fir the price - the quality is EXCELLENT!
thanks for this 100% guide. I always asked myself about the headsets until I got one and I wore to the range for few hours then I understood no matter how comfortable they are, they are gonna get hot and sweat and all the pressure around your skull is going to piss you off lol. Like the hand mic idea I am getting one for my rig. thanks again!
Coastal Georgia in the summer = nothing on your head but a boonie. Damn passin out over some earmuffs.
🤣🤣🤣
When the humidity kicks in !!!
It’s for real
I like the content and enjoy your perspective.
Please keep up the good work for us average guys.
Thank you.
My current budget setup is the defense distributors waterproof ptt that has a nato plug on one end and either the standard Kenwood or baofeng uv9r connector. I was using neckband sordins like you but also found on Texas summer I’m not wearing them longer than a couple of hours at the range. So I snagged a used tci earpice/mic that has a nato plug. Way more comfortable and just as clear just in my non dominant ear. I agree natural hearing in the woods is paramount. I could run sordins over it if needed I suppose or put a surefire defender earbud with the valve open to take the edge off. I already shoot mostly suppressed so I’m already gtg but mainly my buddies don’t have cans yet.
Personally I think in ear electronic comms is the future such as the invisio or silynx in ear. Obviously though for “real world” like you showed a quality shoulder mic does 90% of everything.
I have a set of the 3m peltor TEP 200 (Tactical Ear Buds) for competition shooting, I've been thinking about getting the neckloop that plugs into your hand mic and transmits to the plugs for hearing the conversation (Yes you still need the hand mic for transmitting tho)
I got a MICH helmet off of a buddy. I can wear my Howard leights under them, I think I had to remove some of the foam. But it’s doable. As a civvie, yeah it’s cool to have. And it was cheap to pick up. Never used it in a training class.
I use the Walker Razors or the Quad microphone model, and I love them, can mount them to helmet, stand alone, or hooking into the shoulder mic, or the adapter connection to hook into the radio, I also use the Boafeng BFF-8HP tri band love them.
Quad mic model... hum... will check it out. Thanks!
@@lieutenantcolonelnicholson9228 Walker brand.
They have plenty of videos of how to take them apart to fit on the muff helmet attachment.
Do you use the radio attached to the walkers razor? Im not a radio guy but wanted to see if itll set up
It definitely looks like you are making some gains 💪🏼
Thanks bro!
I've got the gel cup razors and just 30 minutes mowing my ears are toasted
Where do you do your training?
For your HHV hot-as-shit helmet, you should get the micro-lattice pads. They come with a sweatband, and it's quite comfortable especially if you've got a bit of a breeze to give you some airflow through the helmet.
I have the HHV helmet, XXL and ya, its as bad as a MICH service helmet. Not sure what to do... micro-lattice pads eh? from HHV or different supplier? Feels like the pad in the front is boring a hole in my forhead LOL
I miss the old steel helmets and liners... OOPS now you know I am old... LOL
If/When the SHTF no one is going to give a crap about FRS/GMRS and Ham frequency use without a permission slip from the FCCs. That being said, keep in mind most of these cheap radios and even the expensive ones operate on GMRS and they are line of sight. Depending on the terrain one will TX/RX anywhere between 1/8th mile to as much as 12-15 miles with perfect line of sight. 2w to 10w does not necessarily mean one can TX/RX farther. Privacy tones are not private....all those tones do is block out the people listening to you and uR pals while they laugh and sneak up behind you. TDradio H3s have a scramble mode which inverts the TX/RX, but can be easily defeated. Digital with encryption is probably the best way to go, but the bottom line is the TX/RX distance of any of these radios is very limited unless one is bouncing off a compatible repeater somewhere, but even those are not necessarily abundant in all areas. Once one recognizes all this, then one can consider better options.
So what part of MS coast? Im in Ocean Springs. 21y Navy retired.
I wonder about the baofeng/BTECH DMR, is it any good?
The 6x2 is the same hardware as the anytone 878 just with different firmware it’s ip54 rated & GTG but would love a ip67 version
Hey Randy. You keep talking about the SEER challenge, but none of us know what that is. Did I miss a video of yours about it??
youtube.com/@officialserechallenge
Neat, and without the nerdy (or I was in real Special Operations -> Tacticool guy bs)
Just got done picking up the trash that was taken out of the trash cans and scattered by the black bears. Cheers 🍻
🎶Meet me down by the railroad track, track. 🎶
Im curious if theres a way i can get my walkers razor headset attached to a baofeng
Hard Head Veterans now offers Pop Out Rail Adapters that will allow you to pu
What about earbud on the mic and just throw earpro over top when needed?
that music at the end! i've heard it before, can't place it
What’s everybody’s thoughts on the Yasue FR-60 modded ?
If you mean FT-60 with mods... I say do it. Going to do it to mine when I get some time off.
@@BigWheelBallin.45 yup FT-60 ,Rum !
Superior to the Chinese radios.
Where do you find these mods?
@@dennisseverns4014 it's the MARS/CAP mod, You can RUclips it for various radios including the FT60R. It widens the transmit freq range. The downside is that you can easily mess up and turn your radio into a paperweight.
your a comm-ie.
that was epic.
Where can i find more indo on that RDF setup?
SERE Challenge
You should do a video on what those tattoos on your arms mean...
Straight facts 🍻
BUY DIGITAL, if you only want to monitor things like local PD, almost all of them are digital now and you can NOT listen with a Baofeng.
If monitoring is all you’re looking to do, a SDR or two are also viable options if you can get the software right
Ham license are now $32 for 10 years. With the Mike issues, change the element.
Nice
Any patriots recruiting for a mag in central Florida been looking for years all my friends are simps respond to my comment if so thank you. Idk if this gives reassurance but I’m not a fed
Has anyone taken a look at the baofeng guts after 9-17?
Do you need to really worry about being caught transmitting without a license though?
🏴☠
I remember when I was stationed at NTC, we had LID , lost in desert. Lol but falling off a truck will do. Great comms video.
Bro...hook up with that hat patch !
