The Australians used the PRC 25 extensively in Vietnam but I can't recall seeing photos of a GS (general service) vehicle mounted set apart from a dedicated radio vehicle. It would seem that they simply stashed a 25 set between the seats and ran it off the set battery. Oh BTW, I have never seen a photo of any cover over the 25 set as I have been seeking answers to this same question.

Now that I do not need to have any more sleepless nights looking for a PRC-77 canvas cover, one other item comes to mind.
The 19-Set, 29-Set and C-42 Set all had some form of spare antenna sections storage, be it a soft canvas bag, or hard fiber tube. Was a similar item ever issued for the two 64" fiberglass antenna sections used with a vehicle mounted PRC-25 or PRC-77? I believe the earlier antenna system would have been the AT-912 (the one I am trying to put together) or the later AS-1729. The upper antenna sections were identical for each system, but the lower ones differed as the threaded post on the antenna support spring assemblies were different diameters. Regards, David

not down here in the lower 48.
the only time they were in a bag is when they were new, and they came in a throw away cardboard tube. but the plt sgt ot lt always had a stand alone antenna that always had extra sections in it that we would borrow the sections to replace damaged ones.

Canvas covers
Hello
Yes there were Canvas covers for the 524 vehicle mounted radio and the 25 and 77 set mounted in the amplifier\ power units. These are hard to come by and i have seen them on e-bay for over $90.00 US. They exist as i have one for my radio out of CDN DND stock. There was a canvas bag for the fiberglass antennae's as well. The C42 also has a canvas cover for both the radio unit and the tuning unit. These were a basic square bag with a drawstring on the bottom. I had some copied at one time from originals but have sold them off to others who needed them more than me. The antennae stuck through a grommet hole in the top of the tuning unit. I moved away from the C42 to the 524 for my M38A1 as it is a bit lighter in weight. Thanks Eric
