[MRCA] MRCA Digest, Vol 261, Issue 30 AN/PRR9

[Mike Christie]

 We had 3 AN/PRR9 sets provide by my battalion Hq while in Vienam and they never work well. Range was very poor when they worked. I turn them in with a note “don’t send back”!My PRC 25 later the PRC  77 were reliable even though they were heavy.MikeW1ZFB

Good afternoon.? I am hoping someone on here has made a replacement/substitute for the BA-48 Battery that powers the SCR-694 and GRC-9.? If you have please contact me off list, directly.? My DY-88 isn't working now, and I am looking for alternative power.
