I have gone through all four basic packages and improved packages with three
of my basic packages and one improved package not agreeing with QSDS 1.5e.
Of course the TL-9 Improved package has been found not to match the QSDS
cost which is the result of adding the Antenna Cost equation from the
Consolidated TNE Errata. The latest check of the TL-9 Small Military package
has shown not to match the volume and cost.  Hopefully I'll have them all
checked out and be able to post my findings for review on the TML in a
couple of days.

How was the Min Length data determined?

I believe that the min length is referring to the antenna diameters for the
HRT and PEMS which, if I'm on the right track, may need errata. The TL-9 HRT
systems the Passive USD 2 x 30,000 = 60,000 km which the HRT table has the
antenna diameter as 10 m. The QSDS Standard Sensor Table has the min lengt
of 5 m.
