Once mounted in the vehicle, radio equipment should be ready for use and does not require reinstallation. 3. Radio is mobile, it can be used a serial, amphibious vehicle and dismounted unit 4. Through the use of relay circuit, it communicates for a distance in case of VHF- HF. Honor. Patriotism. Duty.  By 2028, a world-class Army that is a source of national pride. LIMITATIONS  Radio is subject to equipment breakdown.  Radio is subject to interference.  Radio is the least secured means of communication. TACTICAL APPLICATIONS  Main unit is moving or operating. It is necessary to maintain radio silence.  Avoid necessary transmission.  Transmit only when necessary emergency. Honor. Patriotism. Duty.  By 2028, a world-class Army that is a source of national pride. ADVANTAGES OF RADIO SPEED OF INSTALLATION – It is easy to establish than wire or other means of signal communication. FLEXIBLE – It has no fixed circuits required to be constructed. It provides communication across impossible terrain over which is may be impractical to install wire. Honor. Patriotism. Duty.  By 2028, a world-class Army that is a source of national pride. DISADVANTAGES OF RADIO LACK OF SECURITY - Radio is the least secured means. It is always assumed that interception every time the transmitter is place on operation.
