M46, correct, the 109 was only made for short/med range commo. I can't remember what the exact freq range was, or what came in the crystal set.
The PRC-74 only went up to 17.999 MHZ, so that limited range also. However, the PRC-70 went up to a whopping 30 MHZ, which opened up the "long range" HF commo.
We first used them in the DTP tng program 5th GP had in the mid 80's around the McGregor/Donna Anna/Oro Grande areas.
Next we went to Kenya and hit Bragg from there...I'd classify that as "long range"...
The 70 did have it's nuances though when it first came out...
Then here came SATCOM, with the ever so eloquent URC-101...LOL
