You think? In Die Hard, the terrorists brough 'CB radios' - which were obviously UHF (Does the US still have a UHF CB frequency?) - Die Hard 2 - Kenwood 2m rigs, with speech inversion. The handy on the Janitors desk clearly shows "144MHz" on it. Die hard 3 - Cobra 21 CB in the taxi, Cobra Marine band radio on the boat - with the lack of radios on the "police and FBI frequencies" clearly showing the writers are into radio. All the 'Police and FBI' radios in Die Hard 4.0 were 2m rigs, as said. Oh, and don't forget the geek in the basement with his 'CB' on 66.6MHz....
The radio shown in the series opener for CSI:NY fitted to the police car was an Alinco on 220MHz. Eric Lemmon wrote: > > Albert, > > If you do find such a site, let me know!
