Thoughts in the FCS MPU-5?
https://www.fcs-tactical.com/productinfo/3698757.html
Ive done my research and heres what ive found:
Its gonna be an analog and digital radio. With removable modules to change frequencies. Pricing looks ehh. Wouldn't pay 885 USD for this tbh. But you get a good deal if you buy the radio, headset, and PTT for it.
EDIT: Theres also 2 modes. MODE 1 is the standard radio mode that comes with the radio. MODE 2 is the data part of the radio that lets you change frequency modules like the actual MPU-5.
Some complaints of mine:
-Frequency modules wont be released until a later date.
-MODE 2 (Data mode) only works with their AMP headset and MPU-5 PTT remake.
-Their data system is their own system. So its not Meshtastic or some proprietary MANET firmware people use in the states sadly.
Some likes of mine:
-You get full duplex channel communication.
-Radio is programmable through bluetooth to android phone or PC
Thoughts:
I probably won't be buying this because as in the past. FCS products when they release are pretty crappy, but get better over time. Its also gonna be hard to ship to the US from my experiences. I also don't like how they arnt releasing their frequency modules with the radio. So you can just buy modules with the radio. But you have to wait for the module you want to be released.
In my mind right now, its a WIP. but will get better with time.
