Junkyard Reviewed in the United States on 17 August 2024

This company rocks! Look them up on FB also. Thank you for listening to feedback and giving us an affordable yet highly functional product. This integrated my Walkers to my Yaesu FT65R, sound quality on TX and RX is clear, no interference or feedback in the system. Plenty of cable for routing cleanly through a chest rig or plate carrier with the PTT/mic right on my left shoulder to be reached with my off hand. The headphone jack also means I can run any headphone setup I want. For the price this has more features that I look for than hundreds of dollars in milsurp tacticool larping setups. Simple, effective, lightweight, and affordable!

I have been using these with my GMRS Boafeng radios and my walker razor electronic headsets and am blown away. These work really well when hunting and you are separated from your group but need to keep communications open and quiet.

The why behind Tigrett Outdoors

I have been in e-commerce for over 20 years in various industries. Recently going back to school at Liberty University with a major in business, I learned some new techniques for a successful business and was anxious to put it to the test. While at Liberty I was looking for a product exactly like our SMC cable for personal use. I couldn’t believe no one made one that fit exactly what I wanted in a cable for connecting a Baofeng radio to electronic earmuffs. The idea seemed solid, and although I didn’t do much market research, I began developing the project with our manufacturing partners. With a few samples that were failures, we finally had what I felt was a winning product. It has been well-received by shooting enthusiasts, ham radio operators, and the tactical community.
