[edit] Vacuum tubes?

I'm pretty sure the PRC-25 used a tube in the final amp, whereas the 841 used transistors. --Gadget850 ( Ed) 21:03, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

This is correct no RT-841 had tubes, the RT-505 (in manpack config is AN/PRC-25) had the tube-type amplifier. The last sentence is incorrect in the article. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by TroyF67 (talk • contribs).

Yes- 505. That model was before my time. --Gadget850 ( Ed) 09:41, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Australia

"The 77 set is also used by the Australian Army Cadets and the Australian Air Force Cadets. The Australian Army does not use the 77 anymore; it has now been superseded by the RAVEN series."

I don't know the official status, but 5/7 RAR still has a lot of PRC-77s that they use, and also, I wonder why the cadets were mentioned? Cadet Units aren't issued with PRC-77s in my experience, but borrow them from Army units when they're willing.
