I also agree with Alderman, the range for a prc 77 as well as a prc 119. As I have used both being a 0331 in the USMC. Their max ranges being a "77" is 8K and a "119" 10K, however, being though you cannot inable weather or obstacles as a inhibitor for this mod for communication. I would consider the ranges to be cut down to aprox. 1/4 its actual ranges. and for the short range comm, considering the comm is a prc 148, as of which I have also used, is a godsend called black gear. yes i would consider the 148 a short range com, however it has saved the lives of many being substituted for a longrange com device. And allowing only itself on this mod at a range of 500 meters is a understatement. Please i beg you increase the range of this wonderfull tool and allow it to pick up freqs of a long range device however not transmit back without a retrans. this com "148" would satisfy myself at a ability of response of 2k for short and long. however being able to pick up long range devices at the ability of the 199 or 77. please pm or directly message myself for further information at xxl7evenlxx@yahoo.com. I myself and the aspiring unit of [3rdMD] are enjoyed to bring arma one step closer to realism and I Thankyou. A.J. Miller [3rdMD]
