If you want a radio that works well and works every time under most any situation you will find yourself in at a game... expect to pay a little more to get that reliability. $150-200 per radio is not an unreasonable place to start thinking.

If you want a throat mic that works under those same conditions, expect to pay a *lot* more. Not something that's hit and miss depending on who you are or what phase the moon is in.

I made a Peltor purchase long ago on impulse because a local store could get it in for me easily. I had a serious case of buyer's remorse due to the exhorbitant cost... until I used it for the first time. And the second. And up to the umpteenth. In clear weather, rainy weather, and even torrential downpour weather, it performs precisely the same way every time.

As with many things, you get what you pay for. A less expensive item *might* work under stress, or it might not after stress. I *know* my purchases will continue to work no matter what I throw at them.
