Description

Radio Set AN/PRC-6 is the FM version of the "Handie Talkie" Radio set SCR-536 and operates in a single, fixed frequency channel selected by use of an appropriate crystal. This is low-power, short-range equipment which operated in the VHF range for line of sight communications by forward elements of armored, infantry and artillery units.

This equipment consists of a light, self contained receiver-transmitter having a built-in microphone and earphone, and provision for a loop antenna which is used for homing applications. Included provision for connecting a conventional handset.

the normal antenna is a built in spring steel ribbon which extends from or retracts into housing. (HUH? I copied this directly from the datasheet below, but doesn't seem correct).

Operated from Battery BA-270/U (which is not supplied as part of the set) and included the necessary crystal unit for the frequency in which the equipment is to operate.
