T
o be a survivor, your AN/PRC-112 survival radio must work. But it can’t work if
it doesn’t seal out water, has frequency problems, or if the battery is dead because
the large VOL ON/OFF knob was turned on when you stuffed the radio into your
flight vest.
The Communications-Electronics Command (CECOM) is taking care of those
problems for you with its AN/PRC-112 make-over, which is going on now.
Upgrades include a smaller VOL ON/OFF knob, an improved gasket to keep
water out of the radio’s case and an improved transponder.
Check your radio. If it has NSN 5820-
01-458-6018, then your radio is good to
go. Likewise, if it is NSN 5820-01-279-
5450 and has a Tobyhanna Army Depot
(TYAD) sticker, your radio has gotten its
make-over.
No sticker on your radio? Contact
CECOM’s Bruce Jetter at DSN 992-
1191,
(732) 532-1191 or e-mail:
bruce.jetter@mail1.monmouth.army.mil
He’ll help you start your radio make-
over process.
You can stop draining the battery now
by taping two inches of surgical tape,
NSN 6510-01-060-1639, over the button
to keep it from turning the radio on.
‘Course, if you have the old AN/PRC-90
radios, use tape on the switch, too.
