[Ricochet]

Yes, real steal is the way to go. Radios themselves are one of the few things you can get lower grade, in fact getting real steel can be difficult as they require radio licenses. But companies like Wouxun, Linton, etc, all make a decent radio. On the other hand, headsets and PTTs should be real steel. Yes, that will make them cost more, but repro, clone, knockoff, toy, etc, clearly equals train-wreck. Clear and reliable communications in airsoft is nearly as important as a well functioning gun.
