Hi Dan - I operated RATT from the woods with the PRC-174 on the ALICE frame, Signalink + Notebook/FLDIGI. I was up on 7087/850 shift at 2000Z, 2100Z and 2200Z with calls; monitoring in between. Sounds like you had equipment problems but I didn't hear any 850 RATT or ham RTTY all day. I guess everyone has their smart phones auto-texting "599" to each other these days. I also had the RACAL TRA-967 guarding 52.525.
However I did work a bunch of SSB and CW stations yesterday. A bad day with military radios in the Woods is better than..... hihi
