These are fairly cheap in comparison to some of the more digital ones that are designed for more.<br> For the headset you could go with the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004U4A5RU/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B004U4A5RU&linkCode=as2&tag=prepperpodcast-20&linkId=D3DEPMMAUY7DPCAU">Howard Leight 1030110 Sync Noise-Blocking Stereo Earmuff</a><br> <br> Third, You Need a Decent Radio that You can Program.<br> If you don’t already have a radio, then you will need one. My guess is that you already have one, because you are an awesome super prepper.<br> On the off chance that you DON’T have a radio in mind, I will be explaining how to connect everything using Baofeng Radio since it is a cheap programmable radio: <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00MAULSOK/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B00MAULSOK&linkCode=as2&tag=prepperpodcast-20&linkId=2UBYQ3X3NA4BEX3C">BaoFeng BF-F8HP 8W High Power – BaoFeng’s Best TRI-POWER (1, 4, 8 Watt) (USA Warranty) Dual-Band 136-174/400-520Mhz (VHF/UHF) Ham Two-way Radio – With Large Battery, High Gain Antenna, Earpiece, Charger, and More</a><br> The Baofeng Programmable Radio has a Kenwood K1 Connection which you can find in the Planet Head Set Chart I mentioned already.<br> Baofengs have amazing capabilities, but are super cheap. You can program it to do almost anything.<br> <br> Fourth, Design a Simple “Conversion Kit” to Connect Your Headset to Your Radio<br> Really, all you need is a touch mic. You don’t need some fancy hands-free gadget when these work just fine.<br> No one will be able to hear your mic as long as you have phones plugged into it. You will need one that your phones WILL plug into.<br> Another benefit of this setup is that you can unplug your headphones, and use it as a speaker.<br>
