[Milsurplus] Info about current radios

Mon, 4 Aug 2003 14:00:46 -0700

Operational Security (OPSEC) would not allow an answer to your query.
You could read "Jane's Military Communications". The info in there would
give you 90% of what you are after, without revealing additional info to any
current or future
enemies or antagonists.
