I overheard three rednecks talking about hunting with dogs...he said they use the prc-6 radios. I saw them leave and one of the guys was already using his as passenger.
Is that legal?
Can you get batteries for prc-6?
How do you change frequency?
Thanks, Scott

Re: Radio question
Wouldn't make sense since GMRS radios are cheap and have a much better range.

Re: Radio question
It's in the 6m range but prob wide band, maybe ok if they a least have a tech lic. and understand the 6m band plan.
With an approx. 1mile range they'd be better off with some Wally world GMRS/FRS radios.

Re: Radio question
Using a PRC-6 for this is almost as good as 2 cans and a string besides the fact that transmitting on 6 meters requires a license from the FCC. There are no batteries commercially available and the radio is crystal controlled so changing the frequency requires getting into the set itself. And why would you want to lug around something as heavy as this when much better, lightweight radios are readily available? FRS or GMRS radios will work better, with more range, and cheap, readily available batteries at every 7/11 or AM/PM market.
Great for re-enactments or displays but pretty limited as far as being useful in the field.
