Re: [MV] Mil FM Radios 0n 51.0 MHz

    I have personally tried communicating between a PRC-68 (wideband 15
KHz) and a modern Yaesu VX-5R set to 5 KHz narrowband. It works,
kinda-sorta. Here's what happens:
    When the narrowband radio transmits to the wideband radio, the
received audio is weak. When the military wideband radio transmits to
the narrowband receiver, it sounds loud and all garbled. The remedy is
to talk softly into the military wideband radio. That's a workaround,
but it does work sufficiently to allow communications between the old
and new style stuff. Also, the 'new squelch' on the military radios is
150 Hz. The closest tone to that for the newer commercial radios is
151.8 (er, something right around there) and usually works ok.
