RE: Platoon Leaders in SG2

Glover, spake thusly upon matters weighty: 

I'd think that's closer to the mark. The small handsets used to give 
2 or 3 klicks range..... I'd expect a manpack to provide a much more 
substantial range (of course, depends on environment - thermal stuff, 
ionization layers, weather, terrain, etc. ).
