Toshiba PRC-10 Two-Way Radio

This is the standard issue radio for Arasaka soldiers and guards. It is worn as a belt pack and uses a headset earpiece microphone that can be integral with a helmet. The radio can also be linked with cyber audio and video via interface plugs. The PRC-10 can broadcast and receive on ten channels, allowing for several levels of command and coordination. Transmissions are encrypted by a modular chip which can be changed in the field. The cyphering chips are locked, and will not translate unless the control display shows the correct 5 digit code. This makes for complete transmission security, even when the radios are captured. Range is about one mile, with more powerful, less mobile units available as options. Cellular versions exist too, but are not as secure. These radios are issued to guards at most Arasaka security offices and contract sites. Cost: 300 eb per unit. 50 eb per cypher-chip. Cypher chips can be re-encoded and are re-usable.
