hawkdriver Posted July 15, 2011 Share #5 Posted July 15, 2011 The Air Force is the primary user of these radios, UHF radio as you can tell. Used a lot by FACs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think it's OK to have this thing? Specs say UHF/VHF. Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkdriver Posted July 15, 2011 Share #7 Posted July 15, 2011 Ya, I don't see it being anymore dangerous to have than any other radio. The only thing I will say is that it is primary a tactical radio used for talking to military aircraft, but it also can be used on civilian aircraft, so be careful which frequency you "play with" Need to stay off the emergency frequencies and most definitely stay off VHF from around 118 to 130 bands, those will interfere with civilian traffic and ATC. As for value, if its operational, it would have value to someone in the aviation community, I would like to have it just because we can never seem to talk to our ground folks and this radio would make it nice, but as far as monetary value, I don't have a clue.

joefriday22 Posted July 15, 2011 Author Share #8 Posted July 15, 2011 Thank you very much. I just wanted to make sure that it was legal to have. It is new with a bunch of wires to attach to various pieces of equipment (seen in picture 1) . There is a packing label with it showing that it was inspected and working properly in 1991, signed by a captain. The cost listed on the paperwork is $7,005.00. I have no batteries for it so I won't be "playing" with it. They don't issue something like this for you to communicate with ground forces?? That's crazy!

hawkdriver Posted July 16, 2011 Share #9 Posted July 16, 2011 Wow, 20 years old, thinking it would need a good TI anyway. I have always seen these radios hooked directly up to vehicle power, only ever seen one in a field pack, so they can be used either way. If you were wanting to ever make up a JTAC display, this would be one of the primary pieces you would need. Did it come with the carry pack for it?

solsys Posted July 21, 2011 Share #11 Posted July 21, 2011 We had them in 3d SFG(A) in the early 90s to talk to fast movers. UHF AM radio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
