Two different sellers sent me blister packs of radios which could not use any kind of audio accessories, not merely the type which I had specifically asked them about, and a third would have done similarly had I not spotted the truth on a forum or something (I forget the deets now). My mistake was in trusting the sellers to know and/or tell the truth about pre-packaged radios. The plan was simply to get 4 radios and 5 headsets with PTT's, that would work sufficiently well for woodland airsoft, at the cheapest price practicably possible.
Last year I set out to equip a small group with comms. So, if a radio has one, it must also have an 'off' option. It is really, really annoying to headset users and will give your position away much more readily than speech would coming from the radio's own speaker. It is intended to get people's attention for an incoming message and is quite a bit louder than any speech which follows. *** Many radios have a Call or Transmit Tone, ie a beep or like a short ringtone which is transmitted every time you press the talk button.

** eg Channel 5 Code 10, will appear on your handset's screen as 5-10 = you do not hear what anybody on 5-11, for eg, is saying nor does someone on 5-38, for eg, hear you. a radio advertised with 6Km range can be reduced to as little as 30-50m in densly forested uneven terrain. there are all sorts of bells and whistles on most walkie-talkie operating systems, but in practice all you actually need are: Volume 8 Channels each of which has a number of Privacy or Interference Elimination Codes, usually 38 (sometimes written as 296 or 304 channels or sub-channels**) Keypad Lock Call Tone Off*** a radio without a headset or earpiece will give your position away to the enemy sooner or later rechargeable batteries will save you money in the long term, but usually the radio's transmission will have more power (and therefore range) using alkaline batteries, so a radio which can use both is better if the design of the radio doesn't seem very water resistant, you will need a carry pouch which is (consider mounting the radio &/or pouch upside down) no matter what the advertised range, it will be drastically reduced in built up areas or over terrain with hills and valleys and somewhat reduced by trees (the denser the woodland, the more it blocks your signal)* The considerations you need to think about are as follows:
I bought my Motorola on fleabay for £15-ish all in, delivered from Portugal: so old and used that the decals had worn off the buttons - it's given me no trouble at all and is still going strong. Motorola also make another radio which uses the single mini-jack interface called XTR446 - I have one and it is way better than the Cobra MT600 which I had before.
The cheapest Motorola which accepts an external headset etc. This single mini-jack option is by far the most commonly available on accessories and is also used by Cobra radios. The Motorola Talkabout range are good and most airsoft related accessories, such as headsets, covert earpieces, throat mics, and PTT's (Push To Talk button), have a jack plug option which fits them.
