My New/Old Radio PRC-351

[stocksj]

Hi,
About a month ago I bought off ebay a british Clansman PRC-351 VHF manpack radio. It's their 70's version of a PRC-77 but is more modular is design. Prices are great since I picked the whole kit for a bit under $100 and PRC-77 are hard to find and are expensive. Since I got my Ham License last moth I haven't made any contact yet and still need a better antenna.

Oh yes, these run on 24volts. Another nice HF radio from the same family is the PRC-320 manpack.

The 320 operates on lower frequencies than the 351/352. There are some good groups on Yahoo for these radios. I'm in the middle of making an adapter to go in the 4AH battery box to power my 319 (digital version of the 320).

The Clansman range are good radios, and great for the price (though shipping tends to be painful).
Several of us locally are using these radios.

I run the PRC-352 and -351 in my m1009s, powered off the vehicle. Also have the -349 and -350 setups for walkabout use.

Cheers

I have 349/350/351s too, though my PRC-77 reportedly transmits stronger and cleaner than my 351.
