PRC-117F: Multiband Radio Radio that is capable of operating in more than one frequency band. i.e VHF, UHF. W150001XQ 3
Very High Frequency (VHF) Most widely used in infantry battalions Reliable communications up to 40km (Slightly beyond line of sight (LOS) with amplifiers Frequency Range: 30 89.999 MHz Single Channel Ground Air Radio Systems (SINCGARS) W150001XQ 4
Ultra High Frequency (UHF) Most widely used for ground to air and air to air communications Strictly LOS Frequency Range: 225 512 MHz W150001XQ 5

Questions? Captain Andrus lawrance.andrus@usmc.mil
Communications Equipment I Obviously no army, except a one-man army can either exist or operate without communications . p.38 Technology and War I have little faith in the signal-service by flags and torches, though we always used them; because, almost invariably when they were most needed, the view was cut off by intervening trees, or by mists of fogs.
