Question AN/PRC-68 Replacement

The radio has severed well for many years, but I think it should be replaced within the game with something a bit more current.

What replacement radio are others using at the moment?

I have found the following as potential replacements for it;

1. Motorola SRX 2200 Combat Radio
2. Harris RF-7800S SPR Team Radio
3. Selex Communications AN/PRC-343 Personal Role Radio PRR
4. Thales/GD AN/PRC-154A or B Rifleman Radio

Kenwood NX-210

Advantages

1. A civilian radio (so nobody gets alerted if several thousand are purchased by Morrow Industries)
2. it has all the capabilities of the PRC-68 - and more
3. Capable of text-messaging

Interesting, From a quick search it seems to first be produced in 1976. I'll have to dig deeper into my book collection to see what I may have around.

I didn't think of this one, it does look interesting.

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.

I think Motorola makes one for the DOJ which would be compatible.
