[MilCom] A-10 Dual UHF Capability

[N3BXV]

Ken,

Sorry to butt in, but the Answer is that it's installed in the aircraft.

"The AN/ARS-6(V) can operate as a stand-alone system that can be installed
on any aircraft with connections limited to aircraft power and the voice
intercom system." 

>From the manufacturer, with a picture that shows it's by no means a
handheld--

enjoy,

Mac:

Are we talking about portable radios being used inside the cockpit?

see:  http://www.freshnews.com/news/other-tech-areas/article_21512.html

OR is it the PRC112 transceiver that's been installed in the aircraft at 
this time?

Ken
