scusate l'intrusione ragazzi

ma tra tutte le radio che si possono permettere, proprio la midland??

negli usa sono un pò + di manica larga sull'utilizzo delle radio, infatti le midland qua da noi sono sottoalimentate ma potrebbero tranquillamente "tirrare" molto di + sia come watt che anche come frequeze utilizzate.

probabilemtne a livello di squadra usano in questo caso la midland o cmq un apparto radio + piccolo e maneggevole e poi i capisquadra invece utilizzano anche delle an/prc 148 o delle an/prc 152 per parlare tra di loro, con il comando, mezzi a supporto, ecc..
