I know nothing about combat, radios or electricty. But having read a few after action reports of modern day urban confilcts, almost all spoke about the difficulties of being able to stay in contact with each other or home base.

I dont know what frequency or anything they were using. But hte impression i got was that even with "the best", having regular comms became difficult in an urban environment. So while i know nothing, even the USA has struggled in modern day times. So whether a UHF would improve things or not, i dont know. But from a game point of view, having PCs out of comms for a while isnt always a bad thing :-) and seems realistic compared to real life as well.
