[MilCom] Current RS Air Models and Holiday Greetings from Milcom Founding Father

[Joe Cobb]

I took my 396T to the Chattanooga airshow and was
standing within 15 feet of the show boss trailer and
it hit once or twice on the show boss freq.   It might
be the radio but in my case I am having the opposite
happen.   A buddy of mine was getting all kinds of
signal hits on his 97 while my 396 was silent.   I
guess it's the luck of the draw.

Merry Christmas, all.

Joe
