New Army Radio Re: [MilCom] ARNG Troops in Iraq Buy Own Radios

[Ken]

Ahh,  read the entire article since it talks about the army fielding a new 
ICOM IC-F43G radio operates in the 380 MHz to 430 MHz frequency bands and 
provides secure communications.

Army officials also said they have banned the use of commercial radios in 
Iraq (FRS/GMRS) because they are insecure and pose a grave risk to troops. 
The radios' communications can be easily intercepted  -- Yea so I guess the 
enemy can't see the convoys driving by?   UNBELIEVABLE, read the whole 
story...
