[MRCA] RF-301-P Military Radio

Donald:

     Try Fair Radio http://www.fairradio.com/handse.htm for pricing on your
required handset.  But make sure you're ordering the correct model.  The
H-33 has ten pins on it; the chassis mounted connector (to which the H-33
connector mates) is 15/16 inch diameter.  My PRC-6's and -10's use this
connector with the H-33 handset.  The H-250 connector is the one with seven
pins on it, like on PRC-25's and -77's.  I believe it's a smaller diameter
connector than the H-33.  I don't have any H-250 handsets or compatible
radios; otherwise I'd measure the connector for you.

     And by the way - it's a real trip QSO'ing with one of these ancient
rigs.  I had my first couple of contacts with my WW II BC-611 at the MRCA
meet this past September.  Coo-uhl!
