Does anyone have issues shouldering your rifle with an admin on your upper chest above the mags? Just picked up a banshee and contemplating getting a tactical tailor admin but I am worried about shouldering.

But that debate to shoulder on plates or not is an old one with no real answer. |

 PIG loaded heavy. This is how it'd be with a max load of ammo. For a lighter config, I just pull the mags from the kangaroo pouches, and pull the two mags from the double taco on the cummerbund, which halves the number of mags on the plate carrier. Next up is to get a few more supplies for the medical taco, and better plates. |

Thats an issue with the Banshee. The way it's designed you have to either shoulder on the plate at chest level, or way far on the outside of your shoulder. When I had mine I had to make something to keep the stock on the plate. 
I never had an issue before the Banshee or since I've moved on to the APC. So it's just something with the design of it. |

Conversely, if you have an actual use for it (e.g. it can scan your local LE/EMS/Fire dispatch bands and/or NOAA-NWS weather bands in addition to being a handy-talkie) then rock on with yo' bad self

HSGI mini radio pouch EGL Monkey Stomper mag pouch holds 4 m4 mags, 4 pistol mags (plus three m4 mags in the kangaroo pouch) may add a few more things to it, but it's a good start. Waiting on my ar500 plates to be delivered What kind of radio? You might get your balls busted over that. Who are you talking to and how will they help you in a gunfight or SHTF overall? Food for thought. Where's the IFAK? It's just as important as bullets. I would move the knife or ditch it all together. My knife rides are my 3:30 on my warbelt. Mine is also a utility knife, not a fighting knife. What's the purpose of your rig? It's just for shtf purposes. I just got it last night so I still have a few more things to buy for it and to move around on it. Why is it a bad thing to have a radio available? THat's what I'm saying - who will you talk to? Will they be able to do anything for you? Some will say it's unnecessary weight SHTF? Hams might be talking, nobody else will. Good way to stay in touch with other like minded folks in your area to warn each other about things going down. Plate carrier thread pics

I actually don't know of any such model (  ), I was just hypothesizing.
My girlfriend's dad used to be a HAM (and a SAR volunteer in his county team) and he does have a scanner/receiver that is about the size of a handheld radio, is why I brought up the possibility. Otherwise I was kind of agreeing with the "why do you have it unless you have someone to talk to with it?" idea. |

I have a Yeasu VX-6r (waterproof) that can scan any of the non-trunking public service, weather, aircraft, mil, etc frequencies as well as transmit 2m, 220 & 440MHz out of the box. I did some modifying and it will now transmit on 6m as well as any public service frequencies, GMRS, FRS, etc. Caveat, it is not legal for use on public service, GMRS, or FRS as it is not type-accepted. |

Wag,,
SCPT is basically FM radio in the ten meter band. A civi HAM radio operating in the right band could communicate with an ASIP/MBITR if using SCPT. Once a fill goes in I have no idea what sort of voodoo goes on.
