Commo shop perspective of radios:
PSC-5D: Easy to set up, does SATCOM perfectly, and as for data, well, Viasat sucks, but it works...mostly.
PRC-117: PAIN IN THE ASS to program without a computer, UI makes no sense whatsoever, does nothing as well as the PSC-5. Very easy to break remote cable plug on the radio requiring contract repair. Only redeeming value is the High-Performance Wave data mode.
PRC-150: Same as 117, but replace HPW with HF ALE.
PRC-148: Bread and butter radio. UI makes hand-jamming...doable. Can do 20W satcom with the amp mount.
SINCGARS/ASIP: Still the best radio for FH comms. And despite the "improvements" I still prefer to use the old, C/D model 1523s over the new one's keypad-primary operation.
