[Milsurplus] surplus SINCGARS???

[Bob Camp]

Hi

Last time I looked inside a Sincgars (it was the ITT version if that 
makes any difference) about 80% of it was frequency hopping and Comsec 
stuff. If you pulled that all out of the radio you would be left with 
very little inside the case. I never got a look at the full blown 
Korean version but my understanding is that it's the same sort of thing 
....

	Take Care!
