Not that I don't disagree to some extent but, could you please elaborate about the 521? I dislike the headsets very much. I am tempted to grab an NS one, (not in rare supply) and splice something nicer to it. As a person whose exposure to the 521 is limited to programming, I'd like to hear what the real users have to say.

While in Kabul on Roto 0, the big threat to all users was the RC IED threat. The PRR's were rated against such threats, as they frequency hop making it difficult for the baddies to home in on a section on foot patrolling by. The "civvie" model FRS's were NOT supposed to be used in theatre, as many previous members have said - although there is a right place and time for any piece of kit. In BUA the soldiers (to the best of my knowledge) NEVER used their FRS's, as they were cognisant of the RC IED threat - but out in the badlands with miles of desert around you it didn't pose as much of a threat.
Speaking from experience, some of the RC devices that were found were very high tech.... that country isn't a back-ass as one would think. All users be wary, even the 521/522's are not impervious to the RC threat - unless you've got the ECM gadgetry attached to your kit and you're in the "safe-bubble'.

Iv been on exercises were we use cell phones for comms, because all of our 521's are down, and the FRS are out of range........
