MARS, at least in my experience is about as realistic as tent-stretchers and/or polka-ddot paint.

I queried each service a few months ago, asking them if they could either tell me what frequencies I would have to use, OR asking them if they could tell me if my Elecraft K2 would work on the required frequencies:


Service         Comments
ARMY            Can not disclose frequencies, request forwarded to Maryland
                MARS for action - No action
NAVY            Maryland Director told me that the K2 wouldn't work because it
                was low power and that Navy MARS used digital modes.
AIR FORCE       No reponse from National or Maryland
