BC312 Posted August 6, 2010 Share #1 Posted August 6, 2010 I have a AN/TRC-7 radio, well two, one WW2 American and one made in the US for the French. They both use BA-70 or BA-80 batteries that they sit on, the same batteries that the SCR300/BC1000 radios use. Can i find BA-70 batteries well not in Europe, not even at the famous War and Peace show here in England that was on a few weeks back. I thought that the BC1000 sets were used up into the 1980's by the French army thinking that there would be loads kicking about. I am only after a dead non working one for display. Has anyone seen any, none in my neck of the woods, any in yours. Here is a picture of what an original should look like and a AN/TRC-7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC312 Posted August 6, 2010 Author Share #2 Posted August 6, 2010 Here is how the TRC-7 radio sits on the battery. If anyone has an aerial and the antenna pictured let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabrejet Posted August 6, 2010 Share #3 Posted August 6, 2010 I dread to think what the shipping would be for such a battery?! Sabrejet :w00t: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC312 Posted January 30, 2013 Author Share #4 Posted January 30, 2013 Anyone actually have a TRC-7 Radio as pictured. I wondered if anyone has or know of where i can get the small whip aerial and base AB-37/TRC-7 and AT-59/TRC-7 to complete. Quite surprised that most airborne collectors have not heard about this set, that was ground to air communication. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
