Well, whoever found them after the EMP could still use them...................
Evidently for something to be affected by EMP not everyone has to die.
On this thread you are reading of actual EMP effects causing damage over vast areas, yet no one died.
Now you want to say that the military makes their man carried radios heavy by designing them to survive EMP, so that someday in the future, someone can find the radios with their dead batteries?
