I've been lurking here for years, so feel free to roast me based on my post count for this question, won't hurt my feelings.
Does anyone know why the F-16 Blk 30 went with the SADL radio vs a Link-16 terminal? I assume it was partially because of the cost difference and partially because of the Air-Ground mission set, similar to the A-10s reasoning. Does anyone have any facts about how this acquisition took place or the reasons for the choice made?

btw, a search for SADL didn't turn up too many viable posts on this forum..I checked.
