Hi Jason - Regarding the  G-76 generator with a PRC-47....
Good idea to "never say never" with this stuff but I am pretty sure (dead
certain  LOL)  the G-76 was never intended to be used with the PRC-47.  I
have done a lot of research on the '47 and nowhere does the literature
mention use of any kind of hand-cranked genny for operating the PRC-47.

24 Volts is 24 Volts, so one could jury-rig a cable and mating connector to
power a PRC-47 with it.  Certainly for receive and low power transmit
anyway.  The G-76 was intended for other equipment..
anyway, my 2 cents...
73, Tim
