How did the radio system perform?

Excellent. The only communication issues I heard were people not talking into the radios properly (too soft, too close..etc). AGC can only do so much

I didn't hear over the radio if they activated any VRS repeaters. If they did, it wasn't announced over the air. I assume it was just portables direct into the system.
