Radios

[Caradhras]

I just thought I would ask a brief idea from your greater experiences of these things.

I am running a T2K group but have little actual military experience (just some basic Territorial Army). My players always are asking questions that I have to wing-it with at times but this one is a bit of a niggle for me.

Radios - hand held, portable things like walkie-talkies. With their small unit actions they use these a lot - the FO to the mortar, the recon guy etc. But what range do these things realistically have (2-3 k?)? Next is the backpack style radio, presumably a considerable range compared to the others?

Power sources for these also (the battery thread prompted this thread!) - I assumed that rechargable batteries would be available but how would it really be?

Thanks for reading
