[MRCA] PRC-6 in the Movies

[David Bourque]

I watch ebay frequntly for the prc-6 and if you can get them with the handset for 50 each it's a good price. The handset's average about 30 each and the radio's frequently go for 40 to 60. I've got a couple of the power converters and he will sell them outside of ebay for a fixed price. The id-292's are expensive and hard to find.

As an aside, I'll mention a pretty decent movie about an isolated
US Army intelligence unit in WWII France.  Unfortunately, the
AN/PRC-6 appears frequently as the handie-talkie being used,
rather than the correct BC-611.  It seems that this army unit was
about eight years ahead of the technology for 1944.  :-)

The movie was "A Midnight Clear", from 1992.
