ear buds - any thoughts?

[fbljuj]

Hello all,

I worked a semi-pro game Sat. and our 6 man crew experimented with the walkie talkie ear buds. I have to say, I was overly impressed with how well the communication was especially for the down field guys. I could not find anything in the manual for or against it. Any thoughts?

The only bad part about the generic O2O systems is that they are on unsecured channels.  You might pick up a Burger King order during the game!  haha.  But seriously, anybody can listen to everything you're saying and anybody can talk on that line.

Unless you get the Vokkero or something of similar quality with secure channels - and those will cost thousands of dollars.

Try radios from Trisquare model eXRS TSX300-2VP.

This company is out of business but you can find these used on ebay.  These are spread spectrum digital radios that absolutely cannot be listened to or interfered with.  There are something like 10 billion possible channels.  They are fairly cheap used, about 30 to 50 bucks.  They work great!
