Hmm, yea the battery box seems to be more an afterthought than a real improvement I think.

Is there space between the speaker and the back of the box? Im asking because im wondering if its possible to slide a small metal mesh between them to protect the speaker.

there isnt but im sure if you took it apart you could fix it in there

If the Batt is a lipo, does this mean I have to also pick up a lipo charger?

it comes with a wall charger. with a light on it that turns green when its done.

Can you put your weed in it?

Looks a lot nicer than the last attempts. Thanks for the pics

sooo much cronicccccccc

For the current version, to use with military headset, you need to modify the mic of the headset. A new version will be released in about two monthes, which has a improved circuit board and can work with the military headset without modification.

Sounds good Huang :) Ill wait till then!

tag, i want to see how this plays out.

how is the 20KM (12.4 miles) range claim? i am thinking about getting one of these for use in the woods and hills of New England (Connecticut or Vermont) so i need something with some range and power.

i'm not much of a solder and i'm afraid to break my expensive headset. i'm gonna wait until new model get's released. thanks for updates huang!

Thx for the review wey ferro,so is it worth the money to buy this item,anddid you do a range test with it

To huang if you read this message can you tell me when version 4 is going to be released

Thread zombie, yey!

I'll be getting a Puxing shortly, IMHO it's a better value as a radio. I'll sort something out so it would still look like an MBITR.

So.... I had a look at the TW whip antenna:

Is it me, or does it look like an SMA plug? If that's the case, it could be installed and actually works on the Puxing, instead of just having it as a dummy.

Also, if anywone has comments on this antenna's build quality, feel free to share!

Your right, now that you mention it. I have few SMA Plugs laying around. If Huang ever gets his hands on Gen 4 or whichever is the latest version that uses swimmers or comtac style headsets work with, Ill take a closer look. Im also hoping they improve the quality of the unit (such as the fake battery unit). If im investing in a unit like this, I would like to get something I can feel good about. Things like a fake battery, (like cmon, lipo inside a fake battery cartridge?) and as way ferro mentioned, the single bolt in the middle is a pretty chincy design flaw as well as the speaker hole and fake antennae.

Really, I wouldnt mind paying a little more to get these flaws fixed.

any ideas when that gen4 is available? looking forward to it.

ya me when is gen 4 coming available?
