PRC-2000 CALLPAC on the beach
The sun was shining and even though it is December we are in Barcelona and the beach is always an option. Lately taking my military radios to the beach allows my wife to be on her own while I play with my toys.
Propagation was good, and 20W were more than enough to have some QSO
I wish you all a good 2025 thank you for dropping by.

PRC-2200 Beach OPs - military radio
Переглядів 3252 місяці тому
It is a pleasure to be able to operate a radio on the beach. These radios are made to withstand the most hostile conditions, and the beach is one of those places you wouldn't take your precious Yaesu or Icom. The radio performs perfectly, even when propagation conditions are not the best. It would have been great to have an external speaker, but that considerably increased the weight of the alr...
POV Motorola Micom 2R on the 20m band
Переглядів 5133 місяці тому
The Micom 2R is a software defined HF transceiver able to operate on any frequency in the 1.8-30 MHz range. The 2R is a military grade unit designed for installation as a front-mount mobile radio, although it is often used with a 12 VDC power supply as a base station. A very interesting radio IMHO.

RU-20 Ex Yugoslavia Military Manpack Radio
Переглядів 1,7 тис.4 місяці тому
The RU-20 was produced in the Ex-Yugolsavia by RIZ under Collins license. In fact it is a PRC-515. This unit is a good example of neat design and functionality. It just works. Only a few controls put you directly on the air. The antenna tuner is fantastic and tunes anything. It is a 20W HF transceiver that really performs like a 100W rig. I made a new Li-Ion battery for this radio, you can see ...

RU20 / PRC515 power hack
Переглядів 3765 місяців тому
In this video I show how to change the power output on a PRC515 or a RUP20 military transceiver. As Mr Kovacevic says, it is not recomendable to icnrease power, even though this radio is likely to be able to deal with it. As you all know, an increase of 20W is not a big deal and you are stressing the radio (an old radio) In most cases if they don’t hear you with 20W they are not hearing you wit...

      Yes I can imagine how you feel. Some years ago I purchased an as new Yaesu receiver on eBay. It had gone missing in transit, I eventually received it. When I opened the box and removed the packing the receiver was dinted from top to bottom, it looked very like the box was at the bottom of a very heavy load. Luckily I was able to remove the dints etc but it was a valuable lesson to learn. Never buy anything around the Christmas season as the carriers are flat out and no concern given to loading containers/vans etc.
