Copy/Paste does not impart understanding. Not giving credit to the source does imply something.

    S- and X-bands are radio frequency (RF) bands used for a variety of applications, including radar, satellite communications, and deep space telecommunications:
OK THEN....how about them Dodgers :)
Cause our conversation about S and X Bands would be very short lived!

    It was nice when we produced engineers 50 years ago. Leading in defense technologies for so long has been a blessing..........so far.

    “Everything about the Voyager probes continues to be a testament to the engineering team that designed them and those who keep working on them.”
And it’s doubtful that that could be engineered with today’s lazy, DEI engineers.
