[MRCA] Usefulness of a PRC-113?

[Scott Johnson]

As a pilot, I love having it in my hangar, plus I can get into the weekly 2M AM net here in Phoenix.

I also like monitoring the UHF air band.

Overkill?  Sure, but what a beautiful radio.

Subject: [MRCA] Usefulness of a PRC-113?

 

Gentlemen, I’m going to expose some ignorance and ask a (probably) dumb question:

 

Is there any useful amateur application for PRC-113, beyond LOS on 2-meters? Can it do repeater splits, and how common are the models that can do FM? 

 

I never thought twice about these rigs, but they occasionally pop up in photos of green radio shacks, etc.  

 

Thanks for any help and 73
