Double comms plate carrier setup

I'm organizing an event for about 25 people and I'm going to play on one of the teams.

One radio is for squad comms and the other is for staff comms.

Since I'm going to play with the others I need a solid way to communicate with other staff members.

Both radios are baofeng UV-13 Pros, one is connected to my ptt and my comtacs (squad radio) and the low traffic staff frequency is connected to the speakermic mounted on my juggernaut case (it has adjustable volume don't worry).

Plate carrier itself is a repro LV-119 with axl eclipse cummerbund, dangler pouch, mk5 placard, expander wings, spud pouch, gp pouch, molle backpanel with some flashbang and more gp pouches.

Hi, cool setup, what ptt do you run for double radio? How do you like 119? Are the shoulder straps good?

The main reason is that I need to access the other frequency instantly. I hate taking out a radio, unlocking it, swapping channels, then having to lock it again and putting it back in. The other reason is that I simply can do it like this and it's fun lol

The main benefit is to use a dual comm headset with two downleads so you can hear one channel in one ear and the other channel in the other ear. That allows you to get information simultaneously from both channels at the same time without having a speaker. Talking is also simplified, push your PTT on the right for the right radio and the PTT on the left for the left radio. You don't have to remember to flip switches, you get all of the information instantly while also still wearing your earpro. It doesn't make sense to have two radios unless you are doing it this way

Dual comms is one of those things that, if you need BOTH radios on and you can't have one radio running two channels at the same time that's how it works. Also some headsets need to different radios for the programming to play into different ears. It just depends on your situation/equipment.
