I'm a little surprised radios are still that big tbh.
I'd think they'd be much smaller by now. Fucking things were heavy.
So the radio I carried around did not have two antenna. And when we went encrypted, it was just another box we strapped on which we fed the signal through before send/receive.
If it is a "jammer" it would not be operating one the same frequency as the radio, because it would jam the radio.
I suspect, this is to separate radios on two separate bands, which can both still be encrypted.
I think this is no big deal. It appears to be a robust portable phone for encrypted wireless communications. Military and safety responders are often equipped to communicate on a secure, encrypted network that is independent of normal civilian phone networks. Bigger antennnae help with reception and transmission in areas where obstructions such as large buildings degrade signal quality. Sometimes devices are equipped to patch into more than one type of network so they basically are like two or more devices in one, which makes them even larger. We don’t notice the size of this kind of equipment as much when it is mounted on safety responder or military vehicles, as opposed to portables. I’m glad the Navy is there to help.
That made me lol
It's a fake news jammer. For stopping CNN transmissions.

But I don't know.
What does the sign above the tv say?
Seems to say "US ARMY 2001-2004 YOU CAN'T TAKE THE WAR"

Looks like an air force combat controller.
