Hi Everyone,
With Rhino around the corner and as a late joiner, I am on the hunt for a sensible radio. All previously suggested uhf radios are either not stock in the country or take too long to get here for the game. On the other hand, This will probably be the only airsoft game that I am gonna use a radio for at least another year. Therefore I am looking for something that I can order and get in before the game (or pickup off the shelf) and use it outside airsoft. (Snowboarding and rolling races are the first ones that come to mind)
hopefully I won't be flamed too much after this explanation. I found these 2 sets to be sensible:

The reason being, highest range, comes with headphones, takes AA or AAA as backup. Now, what I can't really decide is if the difference between two sets is worth the price. The main things I see are; the expensive one can do dual channel listening, waterproof, 8 more channels (although they are "extra" channels) and takes AA. (and Camo
)
Apart from that question, are these type of radios channel compatible across other brands (ie can I use a midland to talk to a motorola, similar type).
And if you are still gonna hate me for thinking of these for Rhino, I can rent a full UHF radio set (ptt, extra batts etc) for a reasonable price if anyone is willing to do that. (I am on Russian side as you can tell by joining date)
