We are allowed to use them if our state organization approves the radio when a crew asks. Right now there are guidelines in our mechanics manuals for what features the radio has to have in order to be approved. The funny thing is that someone with actual radio knowledge (not me by ANY stretch) saw that some of the requirements were inconsistent and even contradictory. The other problem, at least so far, is that a list of approved radios hasn't been published.
It is clear to me that the use of radios is being discouraged in Texas for whatever reason (and it sort of reminds me of how black pants were treated when they first appeared on the horizon in the 2006-8 time frame).
