[MRCA] [MMRCG] GRC-9 at FD report

[mstangelo at comcast.net]

I have three portable setups depending on the power needed - KX2 10 watts, G90 for 20 watts and FT-857 for QRO. When I report running 20 watts everyone asks if is a G90. It's a popular set these days.

Elecraft reports the KX2 has been tried out by US Special Forces but has not provided details. One comment they received is that it sure beats carrying a 20 watt manpack.

I wonder is Xeigu is used by the People's Liberation Army.
