Military Commo Gurus? PRC 117?

[freeflir29 0]

OK..........lets see if anyone from here can help. I'm looking for an operator's manual for a PRC-117E. I need to be able to get it electronically as I am in Iraq and mail would take weeks. Anyone know where I can find one. Google hasn't been much help.

PRC is that the UK (maybe other countries) Personal Role Communicator.

We have some at my unit, I'll dig for a manual but dont hold out much hope.

It's one of these. I have the E model though.

I'll run by the hangar tomorrow at work and see if I can dig one up for you.
Should have one one on a hard drive somewhere!

Can you access AKO (Amry Knowledge Online)? or some one you work with?

If so go to the TM section and you should be able to get the -10 and any other TM/ Manual you need.

If it works out and you get to AKO just click on the link for Amry Publications and Forms then link away from there.

An Instructors first concern is student safety.
So, start being safe, first!!!

There's some Army guys down the street that have a secure internet. I'll bet they can get on there. I'll see.

Um, yeah I miss you too?

You need that electronically? Good luck!

All the radios I used in commo had 2-3" thick manuals that were housed in our secure area. Made for great reading at 3am on shift.

We used Kenwoods mostly. 'Pricks' were for the 'pricks' in the field. Tee-hee, tee-hee.

where are you in Iraq? I will be in al-Asad in what im guessing to be about a month and a half or so.

I may not agree with what you have to say but i'll defend to the death your right to say it.

I''m traveling right now but I'll be back to work tomorrow afternoon. I'll see what I can scare up for ya.

I live in the Erbil area but I travel extensively around Northern Iraq. From the Iranian border to the Syrian and Turkish borders and points south to at least Kirkuk on a semi regular basis. Not sure where Al Asad is off the top of my head.



Scott..............Shuyddapp you! I'd be fine if some dumbass hadn't run off with the manual in the first place. Besides........I hate to ask those DICKS for anything. We don't have the best of relationships with them due to some friction over intel. Long story.


To everyone else. Thanks for the help. I may in fact come up with one sooner than later.

Well seeing how you can't talk without Commo and you depend on it, you better walk your happy ass down there and start asking around. If your pride keeps you from going and asking, let me know and I'll see what I can have sent over to you. Be specific in which manual(s) you need as there are several( I am assuming you need the quick reference guide and set up manual). Pm me with specifics.

Oh I can use it without the manual. Years of experience will get me by. It's just that I need to teach the REST of my team how to use it. For that........I kind of need the manual. I'd like to teach them properly. PM is on it's way.

Just got back from the hangar and apparently the commo guys decided today isnt a good day to fucking work. I'll check back before I leave for the day.

Ah. The UK army has these which are all PRC.

I shit you not these are current issue radios. They are about twice as old as me and at least 40 years out of date. Hmmpf....at least you get nice sexy kit with new fangled things like LED displays.

I remember when we got a few new PRC-104's with digital displays. I couldn't stand them. I liked the older analog models better. Of course when all you have is a straight HF radio you really don't need a high speed display. The 117E is A BIT more complicated. Actually the 117E is sort of "Old" by todays standards. There's MUCH better stuff out there. My client isn't big on buying ANYTHING much less comm equipment. They can't understand the need for such things as they never go outside the T walls unless it's to go on leave.

Thanks everyone. I just finished downloading the manual. Seems a guy from my former job in the Air Force now works for Harris Communications. (The company that makes this radio) He emailed me a copy.

heh.. if you'd posted this in the right forum (SC who reads the Bon anyway ) i could have gotten it to you yesterday
