[MRCA] [MMRCG] Video on the Soviet R-107 Transceiver

[scottjohnson1 at cox.net]

I have both the R-107 and R-107T, interestingly the R-107T doesn't put out
any more power, weighs about the same, and has a less sensitive receiver
than the tube version!

Been working on getting my R-107 back in order, installing new battery
system and the like. In many ways the R-107 is about equal to the PRC-25/77
and was produced during the same time period. The big difference is that the
R-107 weighs twice as much as a PRC-25 , has half the power  and about half
the coverage as its American counterpart. But unlike the older R-105,108 and
109 it has the ability to be used on six meters and will cover 51.0 I did
decide not to mess with the toxic mess that the KNP-20 were and ended up
using a six volt nine ampere hour SLA cell and the video shows that.
