A new and "handy" radio.What do you do when you're eyeballing the maintenance done on a HMWWV and the mech you need to "instruct" is at the other end of the motor pool? Well, an old-Army sergeant could just yell, "Smith, get over here!" and be heard a mile away. But you're a part of the new Army. You need a hand-held squad radio, and the latest and greatest is the AN/PRC-127EF, NSN NSN National Stock Number NSN Nokia Siemens Networks NSN National Storytelling Network NSN NATO Stock Number NSN New Substances Notification (CEPA) NSN National Student Number (NZ) NSN Never Say Never 5820-01-509-9053. With it you can just whisper, "Smith, get over here." This EF model is replacing the AN/PRC-127A.

It's also land mobile radio compliant and meets VHF (Very High Frequency) The range of electromagnetic frequencies from 30 MHz to 300 MHz. band requirements. The same can't be said for the A model! The AN/PRC-127EF uses a rechargeable battery so you'll need to order battery charger, NSN 6130-01-509-9224, too. That charger has one docking station. For a multi-unit charger, use NSN 6130-01-509-9216. In addition to motor pool use, these squad radios are good for MP units, engineer construction areas, base defense programs and convoys. Use the 127A until it becomes unserviceable and then send it to DRMO DRMO Defense Reutilization and Marketing Office (US DoD) DRMO Defense Reutilization Management Office DRMO Division Resource Management Office . |
