REVIEW: AN/PRC-148 MBITR, working replica by United-Star

[Sitting1Duck]

Hi Conker.
I'm using my real Peltor Comtac II headsets (MT15H69FB-47 single comm) with a Peltor PTT dual (FL 5701) and my United Star AN PRC 148 with european PMR frequencies and without any problems of impedance. The sound is just perfect and there isn't any problem with transmission. I tried a real Selex Tasc headset yesterday and the result was just the same. Clear sound.

[Sitting1Duck]

No mods.

Anyone want to buy one? Shoot me an PM!

Guys, I need some help. I'm using the OTTO/Thales handmike and it receives and transmits. However the internal speaker doesn't shut off. How can I fix that?

I'm using my new peltor comtac III (88080) headset and (fl5601-02) with my United Star PRC-148 with out any impedance issues either. It's just working perfectly. Funny thing is that it didn't work before when I was using the element comtac ii and the replica peltor ptt from Px-Airsoft so I think it's a little more than just modding the mic, I believe it's a combination of both mic and ptt. Also I think the new peltor ptt's are redesigned internally because for an example, the older single comm ptt model (fl5040-02) has been discontinued and replaced with the (fl5601-02).

Hello there
Sorry to sound like a noob, but I just got this radio and i cant understand weather you can program the unit from radio itself or do i have to install the program?
also regarding the U283 plug. Can i use a repro z tactical headset out of the box if i buy a u283 ptt??
can some one help me please?

[KidNAPa]

You can use z tactical headset out of the box w/o any modifications.
My friendly advice: You have to read entire thread - there is a lot of helpful info.

Is it possible to use UStar radio with RS Thales blade-antenna in 400-470 fr range?

[dj2l8b]

I got this radio for 2 weeks with the USB to Com cable and I cant seem to program it! Its annoying! I even installed the program on my Laptop and i still get 'Recieve NO data!'
Help!!!!

[Rjohnson99r]

You need to use an old windows xp computer with a real serial port (not emulated through USB) with the original programming cable and it will fire right up. Hope this helps.
