Here’s a chart of the
eight connectors you can use
on the specialty cables. The
cable runs from the N-plug,
one of these connectors…
The AN/URM-213
watt-meter is now
what is known as a
“non-supported”
item.
It is important to find out if
your radio has been upgraded.
If your radio’s NSN is 5820-
01-458-6018, then it has been
upgraded.
If your radio’s NSN is 5820-
01-279-5450 and a Tobyhanna
Army Depot (TYAD) sticker
has been added, then the radio
has been upgraded.
If the NSN is 5820-01-279-
5450 and there is no TYAD
sticker, then the radio needs to
be upgraded.

AN/URM-213 RF Power Meter…
1.
The large VOL/OFF knob can
accidentally be turned on when the
radio is handled. If turned on and left
on, it drains the battery.
2.
Water seeps into the radio’s case.
3.
Frequency hopping happens by
chance due to the design of the
radio’s transponder.
Here’s how an upgrade
program that’s underway
for the AN/PRC-112 solves
all three problems…
1. Current VOL/OFF knob is replaced with a smaller
knob that is more difficult to accidentally turn on.
2. A new, better gasket that stops water
intrusion is installed in the lid of the case.
3. A more efficient transponder is added
that corrects chance frequency hopping.
