Radio costs .gt. $200k?

But worth absolute zip? I give you the US Army JTRS. $15billion failed development program. Yes, that's with a "B". Nothing to show for it except billions in continued orders of legacy radios.

So, yes, it's easy to hold a $200k radio but you might want to wash your hands when done...Oh, wait - Boeing's JTRS ground "mobile" radio prototype was 90kg. Hold in your hand? Um, no.

Maybe in some muddled way this luser was actually a patriot trying to hurt our enemies by giving them crap radios?
