[Milsurplus] AN/PRC-97 manual?

One of these just showed up.

It is basically a Motorola HT-200, low band, in
a light grey case, so I am assuming it's Navy.

It looks like the civilian manuals will be enough
to cover the radio, but would like to find a
real AN/PRC-97 manual or copy.

Also, there is a faded sticker on the back that says:

?ALIDA/FD
   SECAS

Knowing the Navy's fondness for acronyms and
the like, anyone have an idea what this means?
Obviously it concerns a Fire Department.

One of the differences in the military vs civilian
radios is the built in battery charger.

One other curiosity question.

Did the Motorola HT-220 ever carry an AN/PRC designation?

Thanks
