The only issue I can see with a civilian radio like the Kenwood NX-210 is the available frequency range. If the plan was to coordinate with FEMA, law enforcement, fire fighters, national guard units and the like after the war, you would need to access lower frequencies in the 2-100 MHz range to communicate over many of the common frequencies used for coordination. Like 34.90 MHz, used by National Guard during emergencies; 39.46 MHz, used for inter-departmental emergency communications by state police; 47.42 MHz, used by Red Cross relief operations. It would be possible to modify the radio in the NX-210, but why when you can buy a military or law enforcement model off the shelf by an offshore shell corporation for use by their security forces? It's just a radio and not that likely to prompt that many flags. Not like a few thousand TOW missiles or 120mm rounds.
