As for using them to spot with I'm open to being educated on this. Is there a historical precedent for this?
The German 251-1 halftrack was equipped with the Fug-5 radio. Here's one source:

Interestingly, I could find NO DATA on radio's ever being carried in the halftracks of other nations, including the U.S. M2, M3, M3A1, M5, M5A1, or the Bren carrier.
Perhaps the Germans were the only ones who had radio's in their APC's, and the original person who postulated (so many years ago) that halftracks should not spot, was thinking of allied APC's??

Ah, the memories, the memories. :)
