[Milsurplus] [Army-Radios] Unid radio in Vietnam photo

[Al Klase]

As long as we're still beating a dead horse....

I'm with Tom B.

The radio's are too tall to be PRC-25's.  Plus the 25 has only one 
antenna mount, so you can't install both antennas at once.  There are 
separate mounts on the PRC-8/9/10 for the long and short antenna.  
Various load-carrying gear got used, so counting the straps means very 
little.

Then there the radio with the fat antenna.   PRC-41 makes sense. It's a 
UHF air-band forward-air-controller (FAC) radio.
