I have 2 pair of slimline Walker's with the add-on comms and they are great on the range, camping or riding ATV's with a friend or significant other.

I just bought a pair of 3M Peltor Comtac, single comm V's. I've used the III's in the field for years and never had an issue but the V's I got had a horrible ambient sound white noise. On volume level 1 the noise was so loud I couldn't hear a thing through the mics. It was a PITA to return them to the distributor, then have them serviced.

3m did give me another set of gel cups and, arc adapters, a Multicam headband cover and a Peltor PTT to Kenwood 2 pin. So, it was a pretty good consolation gift.

I'm running an Anytone DMR radio or a Baofeng Mirkit UV-9R 8w.

With all the shit going on, I'm more willing to buy tactical Gucci gear.


10 years in the Outback and out of focus with new products...bear with me.
