I have both the puxing 777 & the Baofeng UV-3R Amazon.com: Baofeng UV-3R Dual Band Dual Display VHF/UHF 136-174/400-470MHz Ham Radio: Electronics

Both are very durable , while the puxing 777 has a little more tx power
I actually like the baofeng due to its size , its very small & light
I program them b y hand but some prefer the software ,..at these prices they are practically disposable radios

Northtrail is great to deal with as well

I have both options to go UHF or VHF but most players have UHF radios. The battery life is good enough for a full day of airsoft as squad leader (with some talking).
Same thing, and bought from the same site.

In high mode, I have yet to get bad signal or noise on the coms.
Programing them from the radio is a lot easier than what it seems, it just takes about 20 min per radio.
The ear piece that comes with it is an in-ear tube, security officer style (the little spring thing). Really good and I have seen no reason to change it to anything else yet.

Ahh...the good ol' days. Have just about as much chance picking up local TV stations as you would your team with the PRC 25's LOL!

ALthoug at least you can jerry rig antennas for those things

Also, you can make a improvised antenna for both a old school tv and a PRC 25/77
They are both PRC 77, I can get cbc and a few other channels of interest.
They are nice clear too. I have the book of improvised antennas,good range.
