Sgt. Swigart Posted May 27, 2015 Share #10 Posted May 27, 2015 Survival_Equipment_2.jpg Thanks ! I am looking for the battery BA-1264/U and the power cable of the Radio Receiver-Transmitter RT-159A/URC-4. http://www.prc68.com/I/URC4.html A+ Mathieu I sold one of those radios on Ebay some years ago. It was pretty corroded inside and out but still did pretty good as I recall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jpage Posted January 29, 2016 Share #11 Posted January 29, 2016 Does anyone know how far back (prior to 1951) 121.5 and 243.0 go back for emergency use? The CRC-7, used prior to the URC-4 was tuned to 140.58. The "Gibson Girl" radio of WW2 fame was tuned to 500 mhz i believe. So, the URC-4 was one of the first 121.5-243.0 mhz radios.

RWW Posted February 13, 2018 Share #12 Posted February 13, 2018 The original batteries were yellow as well. I have the long power cable attached which was used with the Radio Carrier Vest. The short cable is also shown. This cable was used when the radio was air dropped in a special container. I hope you have found both by now!
