Great idea. Especially in a ftf game.

I think character with a military background would be able to use a radio though, or not?

On a slightly different topic, i'm currently looking to buy a UHF radio. They have a range of about 5km and are mainly for vehicle to vehicle use. This surprised me, because my real life reason for getting a UHF radio was because i plan to do some desert driving and wanted a UHF radio in case i really got in trouble. So how would a radio with 5km help me? The answer i found out was ... relay stations. There are UHF relay stations across most of australia, meaning if you have LOS to a relay station then the UHF radio has a lot greater range. Reason for mentioning it here is if plaing in Australia or other countries, do they have relay stations, & more importantly would they still be in operation to make a UHF radio worthwhile? I dont know if relay stations need much or any maintenance. And i guess linking that into any PC skill sets/decisions.
