[MRCA] PRC-117D Antenna

[Peter Gottlieb]

And I thought *everyone* called them that.

I didn't know they had a tri-band one.  I have the dual band (not including 
30-90), and I know Mike Murphy has those.  You might ask him.  The URC-200 units 
which have the low band use a separate antenna connector so either there wasn't 
a tri-band one available at the time or they decided the performance was too 
poor with the tri-band donkey dick.  It must be a spiral of some sort in there 
to handle the low band?
