Very fast shipping. Good looking repros that work OK. May need to do a little fitting work on the antenna cover retaining parts (chain comes off easy & the slip rings are hard to turn), but no big deal.

this radio is awesome. its light then i expected, but its fine by me. i don't wanna lug that old heavy one around. gets the job done and looks the part.

Pegis - US

Very fast shipping.
Work well and light to carry.
The colour is acceptable but I will repaint mine.
The simple use of flat head screws would make the appearance 100%, I'll be changing them ASAP.
Overall a great product that is usable and authentic looking.
Highly recommended.

The new BC-611 is just as spot-on as a reproduction as the earlier version, and the functional model far superior in design and performance to the original model sold. The human factors enginering is much better, and radio performance is excellent.

Hi,
I received mine lightning fast (1 week)!! It looks great and all, just the screws are very sharp inside the unit, and there was one dent behind the fabric strap. Nothing too bad, but still. I just finished my conversion project, and it now works very well as a mobile phone!
Thanks for all.

Very quick shipping, next week delivery, I''m so happy to receive my item. It''s a very accurate reproduction, all features are perfect. There was just one (but quite long) dent above the lower hinge. Seems like it''s a building default, because it''s been painted over. I guess it wouldn''t have a been a problem back in 1940''s, so I keep it as it is. This is the ONLY default I can find, very good product, very good price !

Excellent value for the WW2 reenactor who also Knows how to tinker. Ordered Mine empty because You have family service radios out there that get up to 15 mile range now, which means if You install one of these, You can probable get about 5 miles distance. Not bad for ww2 airsoft gaming !

Gunner - US

tried them out and all working ok. look forward to using them for convoys. prompt service and delivery. appreciated. Thankyou. Jim.

Well done Jerry! This second run is so much improved. The case is well made and there are no gaps to worry about. Seems to be rather water proof, mind I didn''t immerse it in water to find out. I did use it in an event where we had moderate rain. Range was good, about 1/2 a mile in the woods. A bit better in open areas. My only concern is that the antenna is very fragile. I managed to snap it off in the first hour in the field. Luckily you can find a replacement at your local Radio Shack. I''ll certainly be getting a second radio soon. Having a radio in the field that looks the part is one of the biggest flaws in the hobbie. Now we finally have an excellent product to bring with us.

Excellent communications and fast shipping. Radio was good reproduction besides the weight. It works great.


Pipan - SI

Great, I am using this for display purposes. It looks great next to my Thompson!

Totten - US

I bought a pair of these units on a Saturday and they arrived by the following Thursday. Fast, workmanlike service! I would give the service and shipping department five stars.

Quality of the outer shells is very good to outstanding; however, of the two radios, one worked perfectly, while the other could only transmit and not receive. I am not sure of anyone is having the same issues, but it is something to keep in mind when ordering. I was hoping that the bugs were worked out with this follow-on production run, but apparently it''s still a crap-shoot. Would it be possible to have these units tested for functionality before shipping? I think that would save everyone a lot of headaches.

BTW, any plans for a repop PRC-6?

Great Radio breadboard model

Anisimov - RU

I bought 2 of these and other than the weight, they look great. One had a broken antenna tip which was quickly replaced with no muss or fuss. I appreciate the emphasis on customer service after the sale. Thanks Jerry.

McNaughton - GB

Received my BC611 in a timely fashion. Item was in great condition and works great. Range and clarity is impeccable and better than expected. Item is easy to work with no foreseen problems. Highly recommend.

Migliore - US

Received my SCR-546 and have to say I''m impressed with the attention to detail. I did some radio testing and was able to Rx/Tx up to a mile, but it has to be line of Site.
I would buy this again.

Steve - Virginia USA

Mollberg - US

Great communication
Fast delivery
Great product
Happy with the whole thing.

Solomon - US

Very happy with purchase, Paint appears lighter in color, but no problem. Will cold-blue the antenna.



Walker, US - US

Functional but unreliable is fair comment for product, although happy with product, as looks good, felt a bit overpriced for quality of finish and what you get, fantastic quick delivery though.

thornycroft - UK

A good reproduction. plate is very well reproduced. maybe the cable from the antenna screw is too fragile and can leave, but the whole offers a very good price / quality

Gmez - ES

very quick postage to UK & very happy with radio which was an excellent reproduction, (actually much better than expected) prob buy another in future

Smith - GB

The Handy talkie looks like the original one I bought about 6 years ago for lots of $$$$. The price is great and it will look good in my display.The radio inside does not work at all:( and the unit needs to have some weight added to it. All in all a good deal

Rader - US

Wow ,- great optic,goog quality,best deal

Schlomacher - DE

Salitrik - US

I bought five of these that were the "unreliable model" and they were decent. We are currently having them gone through for repairs, but these are a good purcahse.

Tim - MO

Excellent Radio and a lot of fun to use ! We put some Alan PMR´s in and it works perfect !

Hambammer - AT

Very fast and kind shipping and the product is also nice enough.

Yang - KR

ordered 6 radios, shipping was fast to australia, but the radios were pretty shoddy in workmanship..screws were broken off on the i.d tags, antenna covers on 2 were stripped and 1 aerial was broken off from the top of the radio, there were some other issues with quality, but in fairness, for the price you pay they are great value, with a little bit of tweaking and some tlc they will do just fine for what l need them for, all in all a great product at a fantastic price!!

Di - AU

En general, es una buena reproduccion, asi como economica, de una pieza cada vez mas rara y cara de encontrar.

Normandie - ES

I must say that every time I deal with WPG I have had nothing but praise for the swiftness and delivery of all items. I order any item and before I know it, it has arrived on my doorstep.

It is an absolute pleasure to deal with WPG at any time. Thank you WPG. Keep up the great work and public relations.

Krause - AU

Fast delivery though severe Weather conditions at the moment. Thanks.
Excellent Faithful repro except antenna length way too short.
European customers should know that the FRS American band (467 MHZ and subsidiary 462 MHZ ) is illegal in Europe. Western Europe uses the 446 MHZ band for licenseless private radio. Use of 467 MHZ may jam official services and license paying authorized users, such as the Ground to Train radio service.
A good base for using the repros is the Midland G7 Walkie talkie with the Ma 30 boom also used for PTT.

NAVARRENX - FR

Great service! Good communication!
Radio looks great. Tnx!

Cools - BE

I ordered two BC 611s. Excellent reproductions as I have an original WWII BC 611. These are much lighter of course and I like that - why carry extra weight! Two screws were overtightened and broke off on the date plate but have replacements sent with the units. Both radios are excellent and work well. The shipping time was just fine. I was informed that there was going to be a delay and kept me up to speed. I emailed and always got a positive response - didn't appear to be one of those automated response. May order more. Thanks WPG...great job.

Philip Hostettler - Nashville - US

very nice , fast delivery and great contact +++

bion - FRANCE

Good reproduction.Excellent service with fast delivery time. Both units kept cutting out after 1-2 transmission attempts.Easily remedied.Required insulating to rear and underneath of mini transmitter set inside as it was shorting out.Both now working well and superb quality comms.Thanks

Griffiths - GB

Excellent quality reproduction. The antenna is shorter than an original, but that is due to the operating frequency being much higher. Overall a very nice piece of militaria that will look great with my CP setup. Even with it being backordered I still didn't have to wait long and the commo was great. I will probably buy another. Ev

JD - US

It is a good base for a PMR/FRS conversion but :
-the antenna is way too small
-the top cover is held in place by a bent piece of metal which holds the screw.
-the radio tag holder was screwed upside down thus making impossible to close properly the bottom cover
-the axis of the bottom cover hinge is completely free.
Overall, the radio looks good, but the parts are put together quite bad sometimes.


Henri - FR

My buddy and I tested ours in his garage, and they seemed to work ok. We plan to use ours in the field at tacticals. Even if we don't use the radio function, the cases look absolutely perfect as display pieces. They match up perfectly to the real deal; but not as scratched and beat up as some of the original BCs we have.

Whigham - US

I had already seen with an good friend the spetacular reproduction of BC611 and quickliy I made the decision of purchase one for me! Greatest reproduction for display, or reenacting events (when with radio included).
As usual, super fast delivery! Thanks Jerry and WPG Staff.
