There is a problem with trying to fit more modern radios into the older vehicles and it's a real pain in the rear - electrical system & fittings.
To fit a more modern radio into the older vehicle you might very well have to replace all the electrical/power system that would be used by the radio. That's even before we start talking about compatible fittings to connect to the power supply and antenna.
It would be far easier to take infantry backpack radios and stick the antenna out the hatch... with all the problems that gives when under fire.
