Smallcrawler, Unfortunately, that story/joke stems from years ago and can't be true. When the M1 was demoed the radios were from the era of the Viet Nam war with PR77's in vehicle mounts and the AN/VRC 64's. GPS and DATA link wasn't available yet. We didn't get GPS until the M1 went from there to the M1IP and the M1A1. However when in Armor advanced training at Ft Knox in 1974 we did the automotive and commo parts of the training then started on gunnery. Our instructor was an older SSG who started the class by stating "if you have a tank that will shoot and communicate but will not move it's worthless to the unit because it can't operate with it, but can still defend itself. If you have a tank that will shoot and move but will not communicate it cannot operate effectively because of the inability to communicate via radio but can still fight. If you have a tank that will communicate and move but will not shoot you have a 63 ton portable radio".
