Item Description
Original Item: Only One Available. The AN/PRC-25 (AKA “Prick-25”) had a relatively short but very successful history. In 1967 General Creighton Abrams, deputy commander of the Military Assistance Command Vietnam called the PRC-25 “The most important tactical item in Vietnam today”. It was still in FM 24-24 as late as 1994 but it was long gone from US active service before then. TM11-5820-398-12 applies, among others.
The ST-138 had corner brackets to hold the weight of the radio and stiffeners to better distribute that weight along either side of your backbone. And a vent hole to allow the ventilation. Unfortunately, these stiffeners made the assemblage unable to stand vertically on its own.
Radio comes with an original handset. Radio appears to be in good condition but we have not tested functionality. We do not guarantee it will be working, but it appears to be mechanically complete.
