radio frequencies?
i have a rt524 and know the range available on it--what are the ranges most commonly found on jeep mounted radios use in WW2 and korea? could any of these
different vintage sets communicate today? what does today's military use on their vehicles? is it still the 524 with encryption or have they developed completely different sets?

Re: radio frequencies?
Todays sets are the sincgars using frequency hopping and encryption. There was just a thread on this either here or on the 503.

Re: radio frequencies?
the 524 and 246 were just declared obsolete by our military in Oct 2009. They can talk to the current radios if the new radios are placed in simplex mode. The 524 and 246 can also talk to certain older radios as well although the channel widths are different.

Re: radio frequencies?
I knew they bought back a ton of 524's during the Gulf war because of problems with the newer radios but I thought they were phased out by the late 90's. Shows what I know about radio stuff.

Re: radio frequencies?
Regular army units had about all switched to sincgars in the 90's, but it took a lot longer to filter out through the reserve and guard units. being finally declared obsolete meant the parts etc can be released as they no longer needed to be maintained. I didn't see any surge through GL so i guess they were already pretty much depleted.rickf wrote:I knew they bought back a ton of 524's during the Gulf war because of problems with the newer radios but I thought they were phased out by the late 90's.

Re: radio frequencies?
I know of a few hundred RT-524's that were acquired by a fellow in Wyoming a few years back. The were all repaired and checked here in Ohio and many were sold since in Gilbert. Gilbert, PA seems to be the hot spot event for radios and antennas.

I saw pallets of them at DRMO at Ft Hood in 2003 while mobilized. We were still using them at the time for local commo in the field as a reserve unit.

Re: radio frequencies?
Yeah, I saw them as late as 2001. We had PRC77s still, but we didn't use them - they were replaced with the manpack SINCGARS. I did manage to get a bunch of PRC batteries, though, they were going to toss them out. It worked out, I now have a pair of PRC-25s to use them in.
If you use the SINCGARS on single channel plain text, they work. But that is what was said above, I guess.

Re: radio frequencies?
I was in the 1st gulf war with the 82nd ABN. We had 524's mounted in the hummers. And 77's as manpacks. about 6 months after we returned state side we brought down our vehicles. and civilians exchanged all of our radios with sincgars. New wires,radios,antennas. and mounts. The only thing to remain were the shelves. When i was statiened at Ft. Campbell in 2000 we used 524's as door blocks(to keep the doors open). Also sincgars were being pushed out to the N.G. and reserves. We used ASIPS. Loved this because i could hump 2 asips compared to 1 sincgars. Hope this info helps.
