[Milsurplus] New Afghan Army using PRC-6's

[Bob Camp]

Hi

I suspect that as long as all they wanted to do was to talk to each 
other they could use almost anything at all. As soon as they want to 
inter-operate with other forces then things get a little tricky. I 
wonder how well a PRC-6 talks to a SINCGARS ...

	Take Care!
