[Milsurplus] New Afghan Army using PRC-6's

[Ralph Hogan]

A European milsurplus website was at one time selling DC-DC converters for
prc-6 than ran off common D cells. Unfortunately the one I had died shortly
after I bought it. There was also an italian ham making these a few years
ago, but I think he stopped production. BTW, anyone know his status?

Otherwise you do like a lot of us and string up a bunch of 9 VDC and 1.5 V
batteries. These can be crammed into an old dead battery. Brings life back
to a lot of radios with unobtainium batteries such as BC-611, cprc-26,
prc-9, prc-6  etc. You'll probably see all these in action if you make it to
the Dayton hamfest for the annual cold-war net.

Just curious. Where do you get batteries for the PRC-6?
I had a couple of them decades ago, and had trouble
getting batteries back then.
