Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) About Airsoft Radio Communication Equipment
1. Do I need a licence to use radios in airsoft?
Not for PMR 446 radios—they’re licence-free in the UK. Programmable radios like Baofeng require careful use or a licence.
2. What’s the best headset for MilSim?
Over-ear tactical headsets with noise isolation, like Earmor or Z-Tac, are ideal for immersive comms.
3. Will any radio work with any headset?
No—you’ll need the right PTT and plug type (e.g. Kenwood 2-pin, Motorola, etc.) to match them.
4. How far do airsoft radios reach?
PMR radios typically reach 1–3km, while programmable UHF/VHF radios can exceed 5km, depending on terrain.
5. Can I use a PTT without a headset?
Some PTTs have built-in mics or earpieces, but for full tactical use, pair with a headset.
6. Are radios allowed on all fields?
Yes—but some events restrict certain frequencies or require pre-programmed channels for team comms.
7. How do I mount a radio to my gear?
Use MOLLE radio pouches, belt clips or custom retention kits on your vest or rig.
8. Can I use military or commercial radios?
Only if they operate within legal frequencies and you follow UK comms regulations.
9. Are throat mics good for airsoft?
Yes—they’re low profile and great for noisy environments, though they may have slightly reduced clarity.
10. What battery life should I expect from a radio?
Most radios offer 8–24 hours of use on a single charge—carry a spare battery or power bank for long ops.
