Non Tactical Portables

Non Tactical Portables
There have been a number of non-tactical portables used over the years. For the most part, these have been commercially available units ( i.e. Motorola, Comco, Repco, Bendix, etc. ) provisioned by the services for use all over the globe, and operating generally in the NBFM mode within some part of or all of one of the following bands...30-50 MHz, or 132-174 MHz, or 406-470 MHz. Additional numbers known to fall in this category are the PRC-23, 24, 29, 39, 46, 55, 56, 58, 59, 61, 97, 101, and 129. Unfortunately, except for the PRC-127, information on this class of portables is sometimes scarce. Some facts have recently come to light, however, and the chart will be updated in due time.

AN/PRC-126

The Scope Shield program ( AF run tri-service ) is an exception. The second effort at providing a radio that would be interoperable with standard commercial frequencies made use of the AN/PRC-126 but changed the circuitry so that either 30-88 or 130-174 MHz could be covered by exchanging modules. This unit is the AN/PRC-128, and is an outgrowth of the early Scope Shield efforts with the PRC-68B( V ) low band ( the Marines also bought this one for tactical purposes )( 10 channels programmable with independent Tx and Rx frequencies if required, 2.5 kHz steps, NB or WB as required ) and PRC-68B( V )2 high band separate radios. ( The PRC-136 fire rescue set appears to be another derivative of the PRC-68/126 programs. ) The Scope Shield II Program then developed the AN/PRC-139 with Racal. This radio can cover all three
