Vehicle Mounted PRC-77 Sets

[JD Baillie]

The AN/PRC 510 set ( the Canadian version perhaps?) was capable of Radio Rebroadcast functions. It took two radios and a linking cable. Similarly the 25/77 set was also capable of this function. While I can't remember about the 510 cable, the 25 set RRB cable had a centered relay. Both setups needed to be about 25 feet appart. Possibly in the early days of Vietnam the older prick 10 was kept in the rear while the newer 25 set went forward. ??

When vehicle mounted the 25/77 set became the 125.

On another historical note Jimmy's became known as 'Zero Beats' due to the tuning tone of the 510.
