They’re not heavy at all, actually. I was always afraid we’d break them they were so small and frail-looking. These probably don’t even take Type III encryption. Usually team radios only take Type I.
Even if they had fills in them, they wouldn’t be much use for secure comms.
Yeah, could have been more clear by what I meant. Having ‘humped a ruck’ as a FAC, I always considered anything not entirely useful, as these are without proper crypto tapes and such, as ‘heavy.’ It was my particular way. . . just me talking.
