Well across Canada different reserve communication units have different communication equipment. Some are specifically NCCIS others are solid TAC Rad others are a mix of the two. My unit is lucky to have a mix of the two. Saying that, COMM RES is not being issued codes anymore for any of the...

I agree with you that out budget would most likely be reallocated in order to fund other things. If anyone of any decision makeing power is reading this. DONT SLASH the SIG training budget. Please and Thank you. I like the idea of the JTFA,JTFN JTFetc Can Com org. Gen Hiller says soldiering...

outstanding rant.

Yes your right. When the TCCCS system is fully employed (as of 2003-4 OPCAT3), secured and independent of any other system (American British etc) it cannot talk with any other NATO system. It is a strictly canadian system. The obvious draw back is the lack of compatability with NATO countries...

Your right my bad. I got so used to calling it all TCCCS. The 522, 521, CPIC, VIC and its ancillarys are all IRIS. I had to look it up to be sure in my handy dandy IRIS over manual.

TCCCS is a subsystem of IRIS. IRIS is compatabile with NATO communications systems. The ANPRC 522 when loaded with all its crypto (not freq hop) can work secure with American manpack equivalent in secure voice. American Singcars (spelling?) is a communication standard for the US ARMY. It is...

I have been to CFNOC and dand It was in the news about the outage and it was restricted to canadian side of the net. the statements I made were due to actual events that happened to me while deployed on OP. The MT was using had 1 LES and through civilian systems tied into cfnoc.  The tech wasnt...

Your, right I was rude and Im sorry. It wasnt my intention to be condenscending. I was frtustrtated at reading Go!!!'s comments. However the 522 in it basic manpack form is not complicated. SAS, Athene systems are not the ANPRC 522, ANVRC 513 V1 or V2. My arguement was specific to that peice of...

This is respone to the followers of  GO!!!. So, lets look at it like this. C7, the basic service rifle has basic IA's and stoppages just like every other weapon. Just because I know those drills does not mean I can shoot something at 300 m. Unless you practice these drills and the principles of...

Oh and another thing, it doesnt matter what  vhf radio you have and who makes it TERRAIN will play a huge factor when you cant get comms. Remember VHF is LOS. If your goiung to be static for a few hrs in afgan the sandy dry conditions do not reflect any radio waves well. (Think Wainright)  build...

The ANPRC 522 /ANVRC 513 (V1) and ANVRC 513 (V2) which all use the RT 5121 is an excellent radio. It is compatable with US, British, and any NATO which use the VINCENT (VINSON?) standard. Most of my experience with the 522 errors are mostly due to improper maintenance or programming by people...

The CBT hasnt been updated since OPCAT 1. TCCCS courses are only as good as the instructors who teach it. I have seen in F Sqn CFSCE courses who turned out very well and others where the instructurs them selves should be recoursed.

Replace HF BITE YOUR TOuNGE. The biggest problem with Sat comm for the Canadian Army or at least CFJSR, is that we dont own any sateliites. So we cant directly control them, We have to contract out foriegn or domestic Civilian companies to act as LES.  And if something on their end craps out...

The handcrank was an interesting peice of kit but it took a long time to charge the battery and you could only turn it so fast without screwing up the battery. But the idea was awesome.  Also provided supervisors with some productive corrective training besides serializing mod spikes.

The ANPRC 522 NI CAD battery (the square one) is junk. Get a grip on some of the Lit ones you and you can operate almost 3 days (depending on usage) and still have 60% battery life. That goes with all NICAD batteries for the radios.

you will get a tour with JSR, but you may end up just sitting in a cage for 6 - 9 months before going over. Best bet would be to get a TF 10X pos

I think moving sig units into the brigades will be a good thing. As I understand it with the money pit Com Res Shilo shut down CFSCE there will be more people filling the positiong in Kingston. I could go into a rant on why Comm Res School Shilo should be shut down and a parking lot put in its...

Someone there suggested using a tempest printer. I have used the "new" SSG 1700 TR Tempest Computer and it comes with a tempest printer in a metal housing and a nice Pelican case. I had it on the Smith Islands in Iqualit on Op Nannook and a buddy of mine is using em in Afgan. He hasnt had any...
