And there were URC-10's. And URC-90's.

And KY-38's and KY other stuff?

And keying units with little magnetic tape cartridges ...


And we were joking about "you know, one day they will laugh at us because the Army will have AM/FM/UHF/VHF/SATCOM and it will all fit in a box that will slide into a side pouch on your ruck ..."

I guess those days are now.

I just get concerned when P.A.C.E. resides in a single box........
