Just found this series and I'm in the military and honestly this is an incredible resource. Thank you for putting it together and I hope you're able to finish it someday.
I've really enjoyed this series thus far. I know it's time-consuming to throw a video together but, assuming that you are KF4WZB, I hope you find the time to complete the series.
I got assigned to a special project in the mid 90s where I was going to teach a US made HF radio to foreign forces for recon missions. I opened the box to get the manual but I kicked the box in anger as I knew this was going to be a painful exercise in futility as just another 20 watt manpack as for the last 10 years, HF sucked. I took the manual home as I had to start on my task and when I got to the chapter on ALE and read the concept after 17 years in HF radios, this was the answer I was looking for and it was and for the next three years, we had stellar performance and success. The radio was the 138 Falcon 1, we got trained by manufacturer and programmed all radios by computer and did away with the need to train programming. Two nets were used in NVIS profiles. The country was Korea and we had a network for the ROK SF and then my own unit used the radio to support our mission. We invented the idea of 150 watt vehicular systems that were jerk and setup base stations as we were not field tactical. We sent in a request for a dozen systems - denied. Seems the 90s, don't ever think you get what you want, this is the Army.
I’m currently working on the PRC-160 and ALE is amazing. Came across your channel to learn more about the history. Great information and great channel. Subscribed ;) Canadian forces - OR-4 Signaller
Thank you for your service! Very informative video! The only recommendation that I have is to reduce the volume of the music while you speak (0:29 til 2:25). But again thanks for sharing your knowledge!

As a former 25U/17E this is a great overview on ALE.
