For radio's, what is "reasonably priced"? Are you looking for a UHF radio, a milspec UHF radio, a cheap FRS/GMRS radio? What range do you require from the radio?

Radio's can run anywhere from $100 for a pair of bubble-wrapped GMRS handhelds up to $5000 and beyond for high-end equipment.
I was thinking UHF. As far as range goes...a couple miles in the woods will suffice. I would not be willing to pay more than $200 for a radio. I'd like to spend around $100.

The technology is great, and will surely keep people in comms with gas masks on etc, but will not have the same clarity as a boom mike.

that all said, a skinny neck works better than a beefy neck, and make sure you sinch that sucker down.... oh so comfy!
I'm not willing to wear a boom mic. Ever. Luckily I have a skinny neck. lol.
