I guess this must refer to the AN/PRC-34(X-1) helmet and AN/PRC-36(X-1) belt/helmet radios.  I received one AN/PRC-34 and two AN/PRC-36 sets from NAVMARCORMARS in 1968.  I found them interesting and easy to get on the air, but not very useful.  Back then small 22.5-vdc dry batteries were not difficult to find for the 67 vdc needed for the one RF tube in the transmitter module.  I still have these units plus an AN/PRC-6, 50 years later.
Or do you refer to the more common AN/PRR-9 and AN/PRT-4?

Hey guys
I'll bring the helmet radio test set for anyone to use.  Its good for diagnosing and aligning the transmitter and receiver.
