So what would be the best radio that is the most compatible with the majority of the players out there? I was leaning to a TRI Harris PRC-152 as I have a decent knowledge of them and a lot of experience usin em, BUT they are bloody pricey!
I'm looking for a comms suite that can include a Comtac 111 AHP headset and a good PTT switch (something like the TRI RACAL PTT)?

Security/LE type radios such as the Motorola XTS 1500 are a nice step up from what most airsofters are using. Puxing and Wouxun radios are the norm for most milsim events. As long as you are able to use UHF frequencies that standard civilian FRS and GMRS radios use you will be good to go. TRI Harris radio are nice, but there are other options out there that can set you up just as well for functionality.
With real headsets and China made radios the issue commonly experienced is matching impedence and having the correct connections for the downleads. If you're looking for a quality setup, SRS Tactical in Calgary does top notch work in terms of setting up your headset to work with the radio of your choice.
Aside from reliability the biggest thing to have besides the working setup is sufficient batteries to last longer games, particularly in cold weather. In addition to rechargeable batteries, having a AA battery adapter for your radio is worthwhile. If your radio is the same brand/model as the guys you usually play with, even better.
I've probably spent as much or more on comms for airsoft as I have on guns, if milsim games are up your alley, it's an important part of the game.
Also, I sent you a PM yesterday, have a look at it when you can.
