I have two leaders in the same hex at the beginning of the APh. One of the leaders has a radio with radio contact and battery access and a FFE: 2 on board. Could the radio be transferred without losing contact and/or battery access?
If an Observer breaks, Radio Contact is lost, per C1.61:Yes. In fact (in a different phase) the leader with the radio could break and the other leader grab it without loss of contact or battery access.
