And we thought the AN/PRC-74B was hot stuff.

Now there's the 117 (I wonder if it was named after the Stealth Fighter of the same digits?)

In about 20 more years I predict commo will be cell phone / Blackberry sized, (solar powered) to a world wide network of voice and data.

Maybe even on a wrist band, or a "Beam me up Scotty" sized "communucator" on a lapel pin.
I see more "hands across the OBJ" if that's the case, and more issued lightweight gear to keep the loadout poundage about the same
