WTF IS WRONG WITH MY z tactical radio.

[solidgear34]

so i got a new ztactical bowman elite2 and a navy seal style button ptt for motorola talkabout and i already started to have problems, the thing has a 3 second cut out( meaning that mic operates for 3 seconds then automatically turns off speak). apparentally for some reason the when i speak into the mic they can't hear me but i can hear them. is there a fix for this!?!?!

[solidgear34]

there also seem to be some problem with temperature, where in cold temperature and causes some problems

You should start with identifying the source of the problem;
Is it your radio or the PTT or the Headset? Are you using the correct cables/connections? Battery is good? Did you eat chicken last night?

Then go from there

Cheap shit breaks more easily, buy lots and expect break downs. Or you can save up and get some quality gear, like a Sordin. On a lesser extent Cavalvy.

Rule 1 with airsoft. Buy cheap... spend lots.

Your problem is the brand.

Ztactical are know to make cheap crap by cutting corners and I've experienced this myself first hand.

Stop buying cheapass crap like that. China made is really limited to gear and basic TM clones. Anything else will break easy,be out of spec or like lasers be dangerous to use.

The ''Sordin'' concept is basically the same as the peltor models etc...

Your ears are shielded from outside noise like protection earmuffs in construction or shooting ranges with a twist,

You plug your radio in there so you can hear the coms real well and there are microphones on the sides of the earmuffs that amplify outside sounds kinda like bionic ears and that cut the outside noise when the noise from a gunshot for example is too loud.

If you are familiar with mixing music and/or musical instruments like electric guitars, this is the equivalent of a noise gate that you can plug a communications radio into.

Remember, the wait is always worth while because : Buy cheap, buy twice.

good advice, last time im buying from them. now i was looking at cavalvy and im wondering if you ahve any experiences with them?

I can sell you my setup

I'd stay away from both. From my experience the two companies are both hit and miss with their products. I had a ztactical head unit. The ptt failed and after trying a second ptt I ended up getting rid of it and going over to a devgru throat mic unit. Never looked back.
