We've been doing it in the UK for some time, as well. I don't, but then for
the moment, I don't need (and in any event, cannot justify the expense of) a
GPS unit!

Exactly.

The point is, it's in one handy unit. Now, if the radio is able to TX at
higher power, then it comes into its' own in both the tactical AND strategic
environments.

BTW - Lauri -

Stuff it down the bad guy's throat (if it fits - you know these bad guys,
they're all loudmouths!). He'll choke to death. Howzzat?

OK, so it doesn't fit. Fine. Smack it hard onto his Adam's Apple. Same job,
easier to handle, and a hell of lot less messy!

Want any more ideas?

No?

Fine. Job done!

:D
