Will this be useful for the zombie apocalypse?

The plot line of The Walking Dead would have been massively different (with sweet victory in short time) if the humans had been using UV-50X2s... 😜

Can this be tapped into the 12v rail of a pc power supply (like i do with my lipo charger for rc batteries) or does it need a standalone 13.8v supply?

In my tests the unit drew a peak of 10A @ 12.6v = 126 Watts. All PC power supply 12v rails since the 90's are rated for 10A and newer PSU's from the last 10 years are all rated at 28A. So yes any PC power supply 12v rail would easily power this. Really my only question or concern is, if this is only a 60W output radio, why is it drawing twice that?

Can this radio tx at 151.xxx and up?

The older units for sure could transmit outside of amature bands. MURS and GMRS was no problem. The FCC cracked down on these types of radios and demanded they be brought into compliance so depending on age it might. I've had mine for 2 years and it isn't restricted.
