Gil, you always have the coolest Military Radios, I carried a PRC-77 for a number of years, and it's nice to see the other radios out there.

Msr. Gil always has interesting things to show! Beautiful radio, congratulations, great acquisition.

Hello from sydney Australia. Fantastic work. formidable ! Love your videos. Thank you.

[Steve_Wardley_GJEF]

Hi Gil. Great video, nice to see mil radio rescued from the scrap heap. I can tell you the thumping noise is from your battery charger, I had the very same noise on a 2 metre rig today while I was charging a LiPo battery nearby. Love your videos and good to see you on Callums channel this last couple of times. Cheers, Steve (G6JEF)

[survivalcomms]

That is a blast from the past. Great condition too. Thanks for sharing !

[MSZT]

Great radio, every contact made is appreciated on these radios.

[stridermtk]

This channel was recommended and this was the first video I've seen so far.
I'm not familiar with military radios, but this one sure seems pretty easy to use, once translated of course and they are all badass. LOL

Hi again Gil from Tasmania, Australia.
Another great presentation and radio. Can't wait to see it out in a field operational video, i'm sure your planning one :) You do come up with all the cool stuff. Cheers 73 vk7ham.
Ps. the electrical noise sure did sound like an electric fence. I live on a farm and have that interference in the background but filter it out.

[CroPrepper]

Nice haircut and radio! Have fun with it :)

[hanzel]

Hi Gil, very nice radio! 73' Hans/PD2MTR

[scottchapman]

Thanks for another interesting video! Ref. the clicking noise, from the speed of it I have to wonder if there are any electric livestock fences near you? 73! -Scott, K4KDR

[tournesol]

The titc-tic-tic is likely an electric fence...

[andrewhill]

Thanks for the video clip Gil. Get a haircut ! Hi Hi 73's M6APJ

[okhamradio]

Good explanation! Let's be friends!

[mtqnypw]

Gil, man you find the gems. How did you wet the caps so it wouldn't fry, or was it used before you bought it? I have my Dad's old Kenwood, and hasn't been used in years. The last time it was fired up was in 2002. Do you have any ideas for me to get it going? Again thanks for the great video. You are always giving us all surprises each video you do. 73's.

[MrLuisDeAlmeida]

Beautiful radio Gil, I've buying almost the same radios you have, PRC-320, PRC 351/352
and CODAN 8528 are some examples. Do you get yours on online auctions? Where can I get a TRC-372 like yours?

[robertsapinski]
