Hi Mervyn

I understand your comments completely & I had a feeling this might come up..

I'm all too aware of OPSEC and I wouldn't ask anyone to breach any laws or policies in regard to the modern ECM's operational requirements, limitations or the training required to operate it.
Infact I'm aware of the more modern peice of equipment used in Afghanistan and it is very much different in its appearance considering anyone that has used it might agree that it looks similiar to a not so uncommon electrical tool..

I imagine the equipment has come along way since the late 1980's and I'm not looking for the modern versions. The British Army seems quite happy to sell they're ex-service vehicles to private buyers with the ECM Antenna's, mounts and wiring still attached and functional so I'm sure there are some "safe" information on the older ECM equipment out there that can be posted..

Anyway I should really clarify that I'm only looking for the basics here, ie the appearance of the "box" itself so I can try model it. There are numerous accounts and photos of soldiers wearing these units in the public arena and there has been information published in books and magazines going as far as hinting on how the system operated. For example one account I read rencently in Operation Banner (I think) was when the device sounded (when it detected something near-by) the foot patrol would take cover, all except the ECM operator who had to stay in place and sometimes couldnt even take cover (brave lad)

All story telling aside, Im just looking to try find out what the late 80's "box" looked like underneath the webbing and I also wondered was this the same ECM used in the vehicles too.
