gene. i had one of those and sold it at dayton about 15 years ago. it worked good but i always worried about a failure and inability to repair - esp the prc104

supposedly the tuner has a very wide range from a 15 ft whip to a dipole. somewhere,  maybe janes, showed a picture of the 193 feeding a horizontal loop on a humvee for nvis comms

no AM though ,so i figured i will stick with the precursor - the grc106. i have one set up like ray’s in my m151a2

good luck with it

Hi friends.

I have a GRC-193 sitting in my house that I’ve never used. I am considering installing it in a vehicle (most likely for stationary operation). I was wondering if there are folks here that run this and what their opinions are. Is it reliable? Especially the mechanical aspects of the amp and tuner? Relays? Motors? Etc? Have you used it in a vehicle? In motion or stationary? What kind of antenna do you use? Etc.

Thanks
