Oh wow. I didn't realise that these had been released to Joe public. Give me nightmares as a cadet those things, and there is still training available on those exact sets.

Yeah, I had to deal with them at cadets as well. When they worked, they were excellent, when they didn't, painfull!! Pity i'm not in cadets any more, I just got 2 brand new units of the vehicle antennas (4.5m ground to tip mounted on the vehicle) that can work with the 77 set, would have been great for a base radio.

I've not seen many Australian units anywhere specifically, but they have been available out of the US for a while.

I know of a bigger about the size of a narrow esky, a mate of mine had it, he died and its still in the shed, I know his wife when she cleans up will call me to take his junk away so I am just biding my time, dont know what it is its more complicated then the set shown and is Viet nam era not sure if vehicle mounted or a base set, let u know when I get hold of it. There also a dirty great field base antannae to go with it, he converted to mains power and we messed around with it for years.

about that size might be a 106 radio set.

Pretty sure that 'tooles' in Wodonga Vic was selling 77 sets for a about 500 buck a few years ago. I could be wrong!

Don't you mean 160.

Jeff

No, I meant the 106 which is a very large radio. 160 is a vehicle mounted 77 set.
