ANPRC 64A Radio
Radio Set AN/PRC-64A is a battery operated, crystal controlled, radio transceiver which operates in the frequency range of 2.2 to 6.0 megahertz (MHz). It receives amplitude modulated (am), single sideband (ssb) voice transmissions and continuous wave (cw) radio telegraph code transmissions. It also transmits am voice or cw code. Operating frequency is determined by crystals installed in both transmitter and receiver and transmitter channel selection switches. The AN/PRC-64A is housed in a waterproof case which contains the radio set, headphones, microphone, alignment tools and spare parts. The case is carried in a carrying bag which also contains reels of antenna wire, counterpoise wire, and transmission line.
This equipment was used by the Special Air Service Regiment circa 1979
