While I'm thinking of it, there was a lad on the list who wanted a no-op
combat radio for his jeep-he correctly saw that a CB was better for

Operating military radios at military power on most all frequencies
(all) is prohibited. It is poor practise as the power output is far in
excess of that required. That alone makes it illegal. End of
sermon...Richard.
