The Clansman PRC-320 - Plessey RT-320 Military Manpack Transciever [HD] - M0VST

Here it is...My review of the Clansman PRC-320 A.K.A,. the Plessey UK/RT-320 made in England for the British Army.
3 watts low power 30 watts high power.
2.7khz CW/USB, 6khz AM ,250hz narrow CW
AM , CW/N and USB make this a fun radio to operate.
2mhz - 30mhz operation
Don't be worried about the 3 watts... its plenty to make contacts...
The Lack of LSB is the only bain
Sorry It took so long... hope its not too boring..

nice video, just wondered if you have considered the LSB conversion? just got one of these myself and thinking about LSBing it.

@thezerocool22 I think If this was my only tranmitter then I would mod it, but because I have other equipment that can use LSB I might leave it.

Depends also on how easy it is and how much it costs

I don't see it, any chance you could do an outside demo with the supplied antennas and everything? I'm really leaning hard towards getting one of these right now. Also direction to where one could purchase them for the best price (thus far I have only found them on Youtube).

[markbeermonster]

@USCOMBATDIVER Sure when I get a chance and its stops raining long enough I'll do a demo.

The basic antenna is a 2.5m whip(nearly 99 inches) there is a 5.4 meter mast that you can put this whip into to make a 7.9m vertical. you can get one from a good guy over here called Graham give him a ring on +44 1362 695939 and tell him I sent you to get a better deal :)

whats the diference from a plessey 350 HF transciever?

[markbeermonster]

@SCHRUBBE1966 the PRC-350 covers 36mhz to 57mhz on FM -VHF

The PRC-320 is a HF set 2mhz - 30mhz so quite a lot!
