[Milsurplus] Re:Where was RAL & RAK used?

[WF2U]

It stands to reason that the TCM was designed for shore use, as it has a 115
VAC power supply and no signs of shock mounts...
And yes, purely on weight basis it's obvious why it lost to the TBW, but
it's built much sturdier and the components look like they could handle at
least 4 times the power...
