[MRCA] Fw: Korean war PRC 10 photo

[Joseph Pinner]

Here is what I can add to this conversation:

I have a restricted publication entitled: Signal Communication in Infantry 
and Airborne Infantry Cambat Teams, dated 1 December 1950, and used by the 
The Infantry School at Ft. Benning.

It details radio nets for various regiments, etc.with both existing 
equipment and 'replacement' equipment (PRC-6, GRC-3, 5, & 7, VRC-7, and 
PRC-10).

It says that TM numbers are not available. Also, all of the sketches and 
photographs are different to a greater or lesser degree than what issued 
equipment looked like. The GRC radios look like mockups. The VRC-7 picture 
looks like a prototype. The PRC-6 looks fairly close to what issued 
equipment was to be. From notes in the booklet, I would say the new 
equipment was documented for 'reference only' and all the education was with 
the old equpment.

By the way, in reference to the VRC-12 and its early nomenclature. I believe 
that it may have been assigned in the early fifties for the developtment of 
this radio. Years ago I had a prototype of the VRC-12 which was produced in 
Canada, labeled VRC-12. It used the same modules found the the CPRC-26. I 
sold it, much to my regret today.
