It's good to see someone doing a review on comms that can be used for airsoft. Room Service Airsoft does a good one with the Baofeng UV-82... "The Baofeng UV-5R is the most common radio I see at airsoft/milsim events. I would like to submit that the UV-82 is the best radio for our purposes. It's price is nearly identical to the UV-5R and you get one MAJOR upgrade: a second broadcast button.

This radio is compatible with all Baofeng/Kenwood 2-pin attachments, but a minor wiring modification will allow you to connect your preferred headset to a PTT using 2 buttons.

The ability to select which channel you are broadcasting on makes this the best radio for any command position at a milsim/airsoft or other event using radios."
