The problem with that being its still a transmitter on receive and unless the rest of the "fleet" have different quench frequencies then a serious case of heterodyne interference is suffered.

In the real world this interference range would be about 150yds with the B Set; on transmit the 400mW of the B Set didn't go a great deal father either according to users. Probably useful in the flat and spread out desert scenario but limited elsewhere.
