Subject: Throat mike Tue Mar 09, 2010 8:55 pm

im going to buy a throat mike, was wondering if any of you use a set you would recomend?

Right now im looking at this one
http://www.gadgetinfinity.com/product.php?productid=16453&cat=76

It has some decent reviews, but as i said I was wondering if any has had first hand experiance with one set or another, and if so would you recomend it.

Hmm...the site looks a tad strange.
But if you do buy it, REVIEW THE HECK OUTTA IT! If its any good, its a steal for $20.

If the site is trusted, I may buy these:

Cool cool.
If you buy, lemme know how it goes.
That site has pretty good prices on radio accessories.

I like their 2-way radios...they don't look like the technicolor/ergonomic motorola pieces of crap... Very Happy

Hey don't be dissing my glowy piece of crap :p

I have a set of the walkabout 1000's...pretty good imo..granted they have not suffered any heavy abuse..but thier serve me well.

Subject: Re: Throat mike Wed Mar 10, 2010 9:07 am

Sorry bro but mike is also a legit abreviation.

Im going to order it this weekend when I get home..don't trust the open networks here...ill tell you how it does

Subject: Re: Throat mike Wed Mar 10, 2010 8:43 pm

I have seen it as "mike" in professional papers and such... But it annoys me too Razz

Subject: Re: Throat mike Wed Mar 10, 2010 9:04 pm

Why does it annoy you, just another word..and nothing like "im buying a sniper!"

L...O...L

Just checking in on a question:

Does the mic come with an earpiece? I couldnt find info on that on the site...and if so, what is the connection type for the earpiece? I have one already that I really like and I was wondering if I could use it with the throat mic without an adapter.

Subject: Re: Throat mike Wed Mar 10, 2010 9:20 pm

I don't get your question? vox is just voice activated transmission?

Lol I meant to say mic. Had "vox" in my head for some reason haha. Error has been fixed in my last post.

I have a clear "HD" earpiece that I got when I bought one of my old 2-ways...and its probably higher quality than the provided one.
So what I was wondering is what the connection on the earpiece is and is it removeable. Some thoat mics have fixed earpiece cords...so you can't use your own.

If im not mistaken, the throat mic connects to the radio...then a listening device connects to the throat mic...is that correct? New to this type of system, sorry haha.

Lol the questions makes sense to me...then again, alot of things make sense to me that should never make sense to anyone Very Happy

10 bucks says half the people reading this now think I'm a retard Very Happy

Subject: Re: Throat mike Wed Mar 10, 2010 9:36 pm

Yeah it comes with a ear piece, heres the link to admins review..im not sure what the conection is, but it is not fixed

Lol thats me!
Spl. Durkee: Looking retarded to help others get answers they're too shy to ask.

The earpiece I have is the same type...so hopefully it'll work fine. I'm still deciding between this and the helmet-mounted boom mic system...
I like the helmet-mounted one for the looks...but I think the throat mic will be more practical and have better low-dBl audio quality...but idunno.

I'll tell ya guys what...I'll get the helmet boom-mic system and maybe Zane, myself, and anyone else can collaborate to make a "Choosing Radio Equipment" sticky.
Since I think we have some good combined experience with radios...except he's cool with those rainbow colored, rubberized, anime Motorola fruitpies... XD

Sound fair? Would there be enough of an audience to make it worth the effort?

<===== OH SNAP, I'm about to break 2000.

Subject: Re: Throat mike Wed Mar 10, 2010 10:57 pm

yeah works for me..and there should be audiance...anyone thats not a backyarder should have a comm set.

Subject: Re: Throat mike Wed Mar 10, 2010 10:58 pm

But Im a Backyarder.. Crying or Very sad

.....why can't I have one WAAHHHH!!!

Subject: Re: Throat mike Wed Mar 10, 2010 11:02 pm

Becouse that would involve unit cohesion..and a concept like "teamwork" would make them puke blood.

Subject: Re: Throat mike Wed Mar 10, 2010 11:08 pm

Oh....then I wouldnt be considered a Backyarder since most of the time they ask me what to do.....we still haven't got comms and we haven't been to big skirmishes either.....what does that mean cause im gonna cry again.... Neutral

Subject: Re: Throat mike Wed Mar 10, 2010 11:15 pm

It means you guys need to get of your lazy arses and buy a set of radios..make sure to get a set that has a range of 20 miles or greater..becouse in reality thats 1-3 miles.

Communications is a great leap in any team..it will make you so much more effective.

Means you gotta step up your game!
Or don't...

Just have fun! It just so happens that radios turn me on big time and I love the hobby outside the context of airsoft anyway...
...so of course I'm going to have them with me on the field.

Like Zane said...if you're buying comms, buy wisely...cuz theres alot of Chinese wana-be companies out there just waiting to rip people off.

BTW: What should my 2000th post be?!?!?!

Subject: Re: Throat mike Wed Mar 10, 2010 11:18 pm

It is true Im lazy but try and say that to my face! Evil or Very Mad

Subject: Re: Throat mike Wed Mar 10, 2010 11:20 pm

I would but Minnesota is a bit far, so i will say it agian..you have the best team posiible? get communication equip and learn to use ir properly
