Its interesting that the article has nothing specifically militia related. In that its just a list of point to point radios anyone can use.

There probably are characteristics or features that would appeal to anti-government activists on either the left or the right, but the article didn't mention them.

For example, if you want communications in the deep mountains for hiking or camping, its not a bad "buyers guide".

Interestingly it does side step using actual military surplus radios. Probably because the mil-surp radios us Ham Radio guys use are either too expensive or too antique to be of use. I have a nice R-392 (a "mobile" R-390). Its not exactly tacti-cool, LOL. For about a quarter century I've been planning on buying a PRC-77 to work ham radio 6 meter FM... in my infinite spare time. I like the 6m band although I've almost exclusively worked weak signal SSB.
