It says that only elite or prioritized Norwegian units use the MRR, and the others use the older POS. Is there any source that backs this up, or is it mere speculation? |

Vacuum tubes?
I'm pretty sure the PRC-25 used a tube in the final amp, whereas the 841 used transistors. --Gadget850 ( Ed) 21:03, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
- This is correct no RT-841 had tubes, the RT-505 (in manpack config is AN/PRC-25) had the tube-type amplifier. The last sentence is incorrect in the article. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by TroyF67 (talk • contribs).
- Yes- 505. That model was before my time. --Gadget850 ( Ed) 09:41, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
Australia
"The 77 set is also used by the Australian Army Cadets and the Australian Air Force Cadets. The Australian Army does not use the 77 anymore; it has now been superseded by the RAVEN series."
I don't know the official status, but 5/7 RAR still has a lot of PRC-77s that they use, and also, I wonder why the cadets were mentioned? Cadet Units aren't issued with PRC-77s in my experience, but borrow them from Army units when they're willing.
US Centric
From the article:
- Today it has largely been replaced by SINCGARS radios
I'd like to see a cite for that, and I know of many exceptions. In fact many NATO countries have had their own digital radio projects such as the British Bowman (communications system). This looks like a US centric view. --21:31, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
Operators
Finland is one operator, there is mention in pic but not in Operators chapter. here is link to it:

they also have digital version 217M. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tuju (talk • contribs) 10:56, 8 September 2007 (UTC)
