So does that mean you have a set for sale?

Not sure if Ralph has a set for sale, but Ralph does have a picture of just about anything even remotely M151 related.

Nope, don't have one for sale. I just thought it might help you find one.

We turned ours in many years ago but I have seen them in use by foreign armies over the past few years. It makes me thing they were mostly sold overseas.

Have you used these before? We liked them because they were much smaller and lighter than the PRC-119 at the time but their range was pretty short. About the equivalent of those little FRS radios.

Ive got a nos set of prc-6's also. Just need batteries. I used the 126's when i was in scouts. Loved them like you siad liter wieght and shorter range. Only time we would use them was for link up with the line companies to guide them in for the assault to the breach points. Just liketo get a set for personal use.

Those are dandys MrR. Do you display them at events? I know a fellow here in Ohio that had made up battery replacement packs, but they need 3 different voltages and one of them is 92V. Needless to say part of the pack is ten 9 volt batteries. I don't remember the other 2 voltages, but they're easier to achieve than that one. If your ever looking to move them down the road, keep me in mind. :D

Rainman, yes they are very nice :) , I'll check with the Boss and see what he'll take for them. I "think" I saw some batteries that looked like they would fit, I'll have to open one and check.
