All very true; the "Sidewinder Growl" is audible through pretty primitive gear as long as you know what contacts to wire up on the bus (cough cough so I'm told cough) but there's a lot of steps to get to that point (uncageing the seeker head, etc.)
95th, maybe you could have the players do business with a unit using a M-730A2 as a prime mover, casually mentioning it had been a full blown Chaparral unit until events made an AD vehicle simply unnecessary and "all of that electronic junk" had been stripped and left back at "base"...or something like that, just a thought.
