Ah, the venerable PRC 77. When I was in ROTC at Nebraska in the mid to late '60's, we used PRC 10's, which had to be turned by the tone of the frequency. I never got the hang of it. Then, when I was in Ranger School, fall of '69, after airborne school, we had a jump as one of our patrols, and I had an NCO rig a 77 onto me, with the folded up webbing. I just stood there with my hands over my head, and when I jumped,, being night, at the right time I pulled the release, to let the radio down about 8 feet, and when I landed, found the webbing still bundled, and the 77 gone. I reported in to my patrol cadre about my lost radio, and he asked me to describe the cadre who had rigged me, and I couldn't really describe him. My patrol just continued, and I am sure that PRC 77 is still somewhere in the Everglades at Eglin, FLA.
'When I was a District Senior Advisor way south in Vietnam , I carried a PRC 77 when I went out with the Vietnamese, to connect to the 12 back in my little Vietnamese compound, where my SFC kept in touch with me. Let me see if I can find a pic of all this.
