just a heads up, peltor comtac downleads are not proprietary, they use a TP-120/U174 style plug. Pretty standard in the military and in aviation.
My DUDE I've been waiting for years for someone to FINALLY post this to help me get my Contac III's connected to consumer 2 pin THANK YOU THANK YOU!
I run the comtac III single leadwith a Kenwood u94/A PTT (amplified ptt) and a 48" foldable antenna with a gooseneck adapter. Pretty good for closed comms. Still learning about HAM comms.
Baofeng should really be making its own headsets, probably will be saving everybody a pretty penny too.
Technically you need an amp in the circuit as comtacs are low impedence systems and baofengs and other civilian radios are relatively high impedence
You're totally right. Additionally, I hear that some baofengs don't have a preamp, so the signal from the peltors to the radio will be wicked quiet. In a radio with a preamp or adjustable gain this should not be a problem since the radio deals with it on the input side of things. The trick is knowing which chinese radios have these features :D
how do you find out? does the uv-82 have preamp? @@waylonk2453
Baller very helpful thanks
I love the fact that 25k people watched this! We getting ready!
Keep em coming 👍
Thank you, this has had me baffled for weeks!!! Huge help!!
This is great. It would be greatly appreciated if you would put a direct link into your part you found to connect the radio to the headset and not just the Disco32 site.

with the comtac III, how do i get sine cable management for the wire connecting to the other headset
Dude this was so helpful! I literally just asked Nick how can connect my radio to my ear pro like two days ago.
Thats funny lol. Just be mindful of the make and model of your Ear pro. Some aren't designed for Comms in mind 😕
It cracks me up when people attach hundreds of dollars worth of gear to a $50 radio. But hey, it works! That's awesome.
Edit: +1 for eezox! Best oil around!
Awesome! Thanks for posting this.
Thanks for sharing, this was very helpful!
I have the dual lead comtac III. Is there a way to remove one of the leads? I have it out of the way but never use it. I actually bought the dual lead by accident.
Great info! Thank You- Cheers

Lost here. I have the comtac lVs got the peltor ptt, ordered the adapter from disco and also have the uv5r. Problem: I can hear the other uv5r through my headset, but when I talk there’s nothing but static that comes through the other radio. Any help would be appreciated
Great research, nice kit!
Hey I bought some liberator 2s with the standard nato connector and that exact PTT but when I plug the wire from the headset into the PTT it comes out super easily. Did I buy a defective Peltor PTT or the wrong PTT?
Good video as always brother thank you for the tip
which peltor radio single comm PTT adaptor are you using? Will the FL5035-02 Peltor Radio Adaptor work to
M55116 To Kenwood 2 Pin? Please advise. Thanks!
Nice Emerson
sweet vid!
How does you voice come thru with this set up?
Does it matter that the ptt is not amplified for the baofeng?
I haven't encountered any issues with it. It my not be as loud as a 152 turned up but it definitely gets the job done.
Not sure if anyone will be able to help. Bought a set of contacts 2s second hand years ago in the military and never used them. They have a weird smaller 6pin plug rather than the standard connector most contacts have. It’s not the standard nato 6 pin that’s on the radios but way smaller. Anyone know what this connector is called so I can try and source an adapter?
great video. what earpro is that?
I've been looking to do this for a while, do you have a ham radio license or have you programmed these for GMRS/FRS channels like a lot of airsofters do?
technically you need a ham license either way with the baofeng bc of the power level it transmits at and being capable of going to other freq.
How is the sound when you talk out because I thought it had to be amplified a certain way that’s why people don’t use the actual pelator ptt and buy a whole new ptt system.
So I haven't had any issues. Its slightly quieter then an actual 152 but its not so quiet you can't here anything. Its definitely usable.
im wanting to connect the headset to a
Motorcycle Bluetooth Headset FreedConn TCOM-SC BT5.0
Hey, great content, I watched your Communications/Radios video too. Do you ever have issues with the Kenwood 2-pin having an inconsistent connection with the UV-5R under heavy use? I'm in between getting the BF-F8 or the UV-9R. The BF-F8 is an 8-watt upgraded UV-5R with the Kenwood 2- pin, but the UV-9R has a multi-pin motorola xts-like connector that screws in. Disco32 has ptts for both, but the UV-9R is only about 4-5W over 440. Do you think there is a discernable difference between 4 and 8 watts anyways?
I have had a couple of connectors fail on me before. I would say its common but it does happen. In my understanding wattage increases range but also reduces battery life. So it's a trade off. Talk longer distance for shorter time or talk a shorter distance for longer time.
I would say it depends on your intended use.
Excellent video ! What input cord is needed to run comtac 3s to disco 32s push to talk? Thanks
If your peltors have a single or double down lead attached then you are good to run coms. If you don't have a down lead already attached then you do not have a comms capable unit, to my understanding.
You may be able to get comm upgrade kit for them to make them work. But I personally haven't done that.
does this work with comtac 5s or 6
Its all the same i believe
Code red makes a waterproof nexus ptt that will work with these also
I have been running a U94 to Kenwood 2 pin for about 5 years. I got it at themercenarycompany.com. They make them for NATO and Commercial U94 Headsets.
I guess ill ask you this too, sorry for the late reply. Do you ever have issues with the Kenwood 2-pin having an inconsistent connection with the UV-5R under heavy use?

@@tylermartin2019 No real difference between 4 and 8 watts (except battery drain). I have some Baofeng radio's(UVB5's), but don't use them for Tactical Comms...I use Anytone Radio's (NSTG-8R and OBLTR-8R).
@@tacbear Thanks, yea that's what most have been saying, ill listen to experience rather than my goblin brain saying bigger numbers better. Any issues with the two-pin microphone connectors? Or do you not use them?
Do you lose range with this setup?
Have you tried and amplified PTT? I'm looking to do exactly what you have but I want a PTT
I tried one a few years back that was custom made but it didn't work at all. By now they should have something more reliable. I just really haven't looked. I randomly stumbled into disco32 and figured I'd give it a try and it worked.
i know this video was a few years ago but is there any where i can find a radio like this for my pc setup ?
PC as in Plate Carrier or As in Personal Computer?

And Disco 32 has the PTT adapters if needed.
@@PreparedAirman you are the best. Thank you so much
bro, everyone has the downlead already. I got just comtacs without a mic and cannot for the life of me cannot find a downlead to the comm system. Is it possible to have a 0 comm?
So do you have a single, dubble or no down lead from the headset?
What headband is that that you have on your Peltors?
I honestly don't remember the brand I purchased it 10 years ago... If you type in peltor wrap it will pop up with similar options.
@@PreparedAirman Thats too bad, they look comfy.
Does anyone know how to convert comtac 3 for left hand shooter? I am a left hand shooter and when I shoot, the buttstock touches the volume buttons switching off the headset!
I know the boom mic is switchable but not the buttons. They might sell a left handed model.
@@PreparedAirman I already moved the mic to the right. Buttons are the problem. Left hand people suffer in this world..
Disco32 is super legit!
Now that I don't get to use cool stuff for free, does anyone have recommendations for budget friendly bump fast helmets? I realize they won't be OpsCore or Team Wendy, but there are so many out there, I'm honestly not sure of what to go with. I have a Pro Tec classic that I've worn in a professional setting years ago, but the fast style are definitely better. I'm not up on the latest stuff.
Looking for actual nonballistic protection against impact. Not using it for things like airsoft or paintball.
Protec makes some fast based models now if i recall. About 70 ish bucks. Thats all I'm really firmiler with in that price range unfortunately. You may be able to find an opscore bump used for pretty cheap if you hunt around.
@@PreparedAirman Thanks for responding man. I'll definitely look into both of those.
Do not do business with Disco Tactical! They don’t give a Fu$@ once they have your money.
I’m new to all the adapters and the different options. I called over the phone to ask for help after the first adapter didn’t fit. Paid shipping to send it back. They sent the wrong adapter and when I called the conversation basically went as follows.
“Yeah you are past the 30 days from your original purchase and I have plenty of business so fu&$ off”.
I was in shock. Now I’m out $350 with adapters and wired that don’t fit my Sordins. I emailed too to make sure it wasn’t a fluke. He only responded “your stuff has been delivered”
Why do you think their comment section is turned off on their videos 😂 punks
Sell me some comtacs
