some of these are not realisitic yet

- Full approval of all code by Linus T.

- High impact rated to withstand being dropped from the top of an air traffic control tower, driven over by a cement truck, shot by a 45-70.

but the rest is very much doable

I threw in the ATC since I've dropped a radio from an air traffic control tower. The battery popped off and the case was scuffed up but I was able to put the battery back on and the radio still worked great.

Even if Linus does not approve it I want to be on the email thread.

i would love to know more about this radio, can you provide a model name or any reference

Its been ages. It was just a bulky typical motorola two way radio. They came with a rib kit for programming the frequencies with a windows app. It was the same model many police at the time early 90's were using. I'm sure it will eventually come to me.
