Airsoft Canada - View Single Post - REVIEW: ToySoldier TacticalWorkshop PRC-148 Radio Military 5 Pins Plug Version 462 MHz -- No Low Impedance Issues

Tracker33 · May 18th, 2013, 14:44

Looking for a reasonably priced, functional MBITR radio that you can use with your real Military Sordins and PTTs that DOES NOT have impedance issues? THIS IS IT!!!

I tested this radio using a real steel MSA Sordin Supreme Pro Dual headset, real steel MSA U 94PTT, and a Motorola Talkabout for the second radio. My voice went through the Sordins, TW MBITR and came out the Talkabout loud and clear. I received incoming calls via my Sordins loud and clear. The MBITR mic did not come on when I received calls--the income call only came through my Sordins. Looks like they have solved the impedance issue, which is awesome!

Given there are some now on Kevin's site for $179.50 I would suggest you jump on one. Given the United Star MBITR is around $200-$250 and most have impedance issues requiring additional equip to resolve impedance issues, this radio is awesome and doesn't break the bank.

Saw this on Toy Soldier's site a while back but they were out of stock.

Checked back on May 10th and there was one in stock. Ordered it and it arrived on May 15th (very fast). Was well packaged. Note, the box suggests that it comes with the a replica H-250/U handset but it does not. Not to worry though. On the website it was only advertised as the MBITR, broadband antenna and antenna re-locator cable. The MBITR has a real steel U283 connector.

Radio is powered by 5 standard AA batteries housed in the lower back of the radio (behind panel with screw).

The display is back lit and green.

Here's an excerpt from the manual with the functions.

Will post more info once I have a chance to test this with other real steel comm gear.
