Do other countries have a system equivalent to Bowman? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 155.225.160.150 (talk • contribs) 17:39, April 24, 2006 UTC

Nothing that is this god-awful, no. --Pudduh 15:58, 8 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

There was a recent article in 'The Guards Magazine' about the Scots Guards conversion to Bowman. It was broadly positive, though acknowledging that the system was not perfect.

The proposed merge[edit]

I'm going through Category:Wireless networking. I came across the High Capacity Data Radio article there. It doesn't fit as nicely as most of the other articles do in that category. I helped that along by adding the article to Category:Military radio systems. That was a start, but...

The High Capacity Data Radio article may best be utilized as part of the HCDR section of this article. I'm presenting this as someone who is unfamiliar with the topic or the category. Comments? E_dog95'^{Hi '} 03:33, 1 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that the article should remain as is due to being a key lement within the Bowman system. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Wap1805 (talk • contribs) 15:56, 10 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Duplicated from another website[edit]

The majority of this article has been copied word for word from this website http://tripatlas.com/Bowman_(communications_system), but not referenced accordingly. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.167.141.206 (talk) 20:18, 18 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Not correct. That website is a mirror of Wikipedia, which it acknowledges at the bottom of the page. 90.221.178.225 (talk) 21:30, 18 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

PRC-325[edit]

I tried to tidy up a bit, and also changed the wording regarding the encryption to make it more correct. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vola31 (talk • contribs) 20:54, 25 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
