[MRCA] PRC-47 bits

[MilComm Guy]

I have a complete box with cable for my PRC-47, I have been trying to find
a combination of SLA batteries to fit the box but it seems impossible with
the given space.  The top cover/adapter is MX-4430, the cable CX-8395 and
box BB-451/U.  The box is very hard to find as the silver scrappers got
most of them when surplussed, it took me quite a while to find one.  I'm
not sure I am ready to part with it just yet but may.
