It's probably missing the A40 module which is the transmission module. When they demil them they remove the A40 module and they are extremely expensive if you can find them.

There is a guy that makes battery packs for them that take D cell batteries.

Here is a link to his PDF catalog

Looks like he also makes 12 volt cigarette lighter adapters for them also.

What all are you looking for?

 

[Big CASE]

I like to get get one more Prc-77, like to get some new or really nice hand mikes H-250, the head set, antenna's just parts and some new thing to mike the one I have ,have all the Bells

 

[groundog]

pvt jarhead in nevada sells them--I bought a rt-524 from him-- murphys surplus just outside san diego has lots of commo parts

 

[gunboy1656]

I have to see what all I have in the basement, I might have and extra 250, I am sure I have an extra 10' antenna ( still in plastic bag).

Right now i have an almost complete prc77 set up, but I am not ready to part with it just yet. Like I have a vehicle mount for it, the whole mounting kit for a 5 ton dump truck.

 

[skytroop232]

I have 2 complete PRC-77 outfits, Radio, backpack, antennae bag, handset, both antennaes, both bases and 1 new battery.
$375 each plus shipping.

I have tested these and they transmit and receive nicely.
Have not weighed the package yet to see what shipping weight would be.

you can easily get all the accessories and mounts and everything from ebay. austin aviation has most all of it.

I've got batteries for a PRC-25 should be the same...expiration date of '08, NIB $5.00ea +ship.Just throwing it out there

If you want to be a serious user of the PRC-25/77 family of backpack radios, I really recommend the power adapters that Brooke Clarke makes. They allow you to use D cell batteries, even rechargeable ones, so that you never have to rely on a questionable supply of the magnesium batteries which always seem to be old and discharged. Its almost $70 for the adapter, but it's well built and well worth the $$$.
