AN/PRC-127EF…
A Little Q and A
Dear Half-Mast,
Does the new
AN/PRC-127EF
hand-held squad
radio have a
headset?
Also, are alkaline AA
batteries the only
option?
Dear Sergeant J.L.C.,
The new digital, secure voice, AN/PRC-127EF radio, NSN 5820-01-509-9053,
does indeed have a headset for hands-free operation. It’s NSN 5965-01-509-9022.
To use the headset, you’ll need adapter, NSN 5965-01-509-9212.
AA batteries are not the preferred option for battery power. You should be using
the 3600 rechargeable battery, NSN 6140-01-509-9091, as your primary source of
power. To charge this NiMH rechargeable battery, you’ll need single battery charg-
er, NSN 6130-01-509-9224, or four-battery charger, NSN 6130-01-509-9216.
As for the TMs, the AN/PRC-127EF is a commercial radio
and does not have a TM. When you get the radio it should
come with an operator’s manual on a CD.
The reason
many of these
radios are being
destroyed is
because the
demilitarization
code on the FED
LOG is “C.”
all I need to do
to get rid of ‘em
forever
is press
this button.
well,
that’s
the
last
of the
radios.
I hope I get
there in time
to
stop
the
destruction!
I don’t know
if the AN/PRC-
12
7
EF has a
headset… but
I found these
cheap!
it was
all
I
could
find!
I’m almost
positive there’s
a new TM here
somewhere!
Finally, are there new TMs for this
radio or do we still use the
AN/PRC-127 TMs?
SGT J.L.C.
But that will
soon
change.
The
new
code
will be “F.”
The “F” code tells
you that you need
instructions from
the item manager
before
you get
rid of the radio.
The item manager for the AN/PRC-112 is Bruce Jetter at DSN 992-1191 or
(732) 532-1191. His email is
bruce.jetter@us.army.mil
and his current instruc-
tions are to turn in excess radios!
