The preposition “until” behaves differently with different context. In your example, it seemed to me that it sounded a bit odd. I prefer to put “until” at the beginning of the sentence.

Hi guys,

Battlefield radios may become obsolete until they are all built to a common standard.

It seems to me that the writer meant to say 'unless' instead of 'until'. 'Unless' fits the meaning much better.
