Well, all the ones I saw were the -41A versions, but they may have
sneaked a 21 in or some reason.
And yes, they were actually using

Sorry-in hindsight they were 41A's, not the AT version...no DTMF pad.
And they are illegal because they are ham rigs. And it's illegal to use
ham frequencies for a for-profit business, and movies

As opposed to robbery not being illegal??? Remember that this is what
the radios were used in conjunction with. I suspect most robbers don't
get an FCC license. If they did, what would they put down as the
purpose? To coordinate activities and ensure employee safety while we
rob vaults?

Next time you watch DIE HARD ( should be on tonight..it is on every night

pulling glass out of his bare feet, and gets a call from Sgt. Al Powell (
the cop ). Mclean answers the call WITHOUT PICKING UP THE HT. Nice work

Two more comments. First, prove that the radios were even TURNED ON!
Special effects are added post-production - things such as hearing the
audio being received from a radio. That usually doesn't exist during
filming short of someone off set reading the lines that would have been
'received'.
Used to be the Diehard series was fans of Kenwood.
I recall Hanz Gruber using a TH-31, and the 'CB' in the limo looked
like a TM-221.
I think the handhelds in Die Hard 2 were TH-45ATs,and there was a
rather nice HF setup of the TS-940SAT with SM-230 and SP-940.
Also what is with Battlestar

It is NOT illegal to show a ham rig in a for-profit movie. It would
be illegal to use it to make the movie
This is called continuity and if you watch the credits of any modern

Yeah Thats one thing I did miss amaizing How Only Hams would notice the

It just reminded me I was just watching an old Andy Griffith show..
In the Police station The base radio was an Eico 720
Gotta look back at the really old shows..

It was clearly the Kenwood TH-41 model. They had different colored rings
around the top of the antenna for the different bands. UHF was green.
Odds are someone in the prop department was a ham and thought they could
find a use for the radios once the film was done. Or, maybe they
purchased

FWIW-Yes-it's called GMRS.
Even more so, it's FRS... Those are even more like CB than GMRS... i.e.,
unlicensed.

The only part that was really far fetched is when John called the PD on
channel 9 - implying that they were using CBs and that the PD actually
monitored
Further question - are you sure it was the 41AT? And why were they illegal?
