Awhile back on some of the re-enactor web sites, I remember
seeing articles on how to convert PRC-6's and (EEK) BC-611's
to FRS or CB. The modification basically gutted all of the original
radio, installed an FRS radio or handheld CB remoted the ptt to
the original ptt button and put in a modern speaker and mic element.
Sigh. I'd hate to know how many radios have had that done to them.

(Can't exactly say immoral - though it might seem immoral to
one of *US* it might not be considered so by some reeinactors,
they simply want the radio to *look* original. )
