You Only Have 3 Radios to Use
 

You have these choice's:

PRC-74
AN/GRC-109
Collins KWM-2

Which would you pick? :D

BMT
FOG

Its all in what I am doing. But a good solid rig would be the KWM-2

AL

Its a Ham thing .

5th Gp. and SOG must of had couple hundred KWM-2's.

BMT

too bad I don't have one.

AL

1. PRC/74 (Probably due to familiarity)

2. Collins

3. 109

When the base station was in the piney wood's.
The ICOM R-75 that ya'll had for 3 day's was mine. ;-))

Now if I had a freq and schedule, sure would like to try and monitor.

BMT

The Collins - if it has a complete crystal set. (Because it has more watts.)
Otherwise the -74. (Familiarity and voice modulation.)
The 109 would make a nice dual purpose doorstop. If all the modules were there, I could prop open most of the rooms in the house. (Despite its legendary ability to load and transmit using a pine tree for an antenna, the low output and my very rusty IMC makes it a non-starter.)

1) AN/GRC 109 (familiarity & nostalgia, but Dozer has to crank!)
2) PRC 74 (used it, but not a lot - remember it as a 'battery hog')
3) the other one (not familiar at all)

I got to 12/10 in 05B, but can't 'ditty-dum-dum' now. Thank God for burst!

15/15 here...

We had the PRC-70 by the time that I showed up but I still got to play with some PRC-74s that were still around. I remember that the 74 would load an antenna much easier than the 70. I liked the big battery box that would hold all of those D cell batteries and was always curious as to how long it would operate with that type of power supply.

I 'spose the choices would be mission based,

As a "ruck" mission, DA/SR, etc, I would do the prc-74

As a support mission, like a base commo or something I'd take the FRC-93, or KWM-2A,

As a pure UW I would take the 109 for interchangeability of components to thwart any SIGINT/Operator finger printing by OPFOR.

All great radios for "their day", I still would love to have one each of them...

I'd have to brush up on the 'ol code though:rolleyes:

Nice thread BTW

My life is complete.
:p

Dozer,you never told me you were a commo guy,you just talked about you're being a "team sergeant" all this time..............;) BTW the only one I remember was the Angry 9 !!!!! ;)

Big Teddy :munchin

dang FOG's...:D:D:lifter

I aint one yet, but damn if that clock don't get faster every year...

where's the dang brakes???

Teddy, I NEVER claimed EITHER! jeeze, go to Campbell, to play for two weeks (lots of time on the range -- but not nearly enough -- and Land Nav. FUN!) I come back and Big Teddy is trying to get me on a Stolen Valor claim. I was a 18A and at the mercy of both!
