Hi Rick, All of the vehicles at the PoCo that I work for are equipped with VHF Radio's. We've always used radio communications as far as I can remember, especially for vehicle to vehicle comms. Cellphone coverage around here is too dodgy with all the mountains and things getting in the way of a decent signal. I can also "patch" into the local phone network here if I have to. Don't forget that radio communications have also come a long way in the last few years as well.
