As long as it was kept clean, the radio worked good except for the handsets. I always carried an extra battery, handset, a brush, and plastic for the handset. The whip antenna could be an issue, so the tape antenna was used as much as possible. <br /><br /><a target="_blank" href="https://www.historynet.com/vietnam-an-prc-25-radio/">https://www.historynet.com/vietnam-an-prc-25-radio/</a> <div class="pta-link-card answers-template-image type-default">

I still had a map, but the convoy leader used the GPS, had way points logged in. It was great. Also I had a Dell laptop issued to me which worked flawless, except for the "A" drive which the floppy discs were effected by the sand and grit, so a little thing called a USB stick was issued. They were big, 128mgb., but they were great for transfer of files .Response by SGM Mikel Dawson made Mar 26 at 2023 1:20 AM2023-03-26T01:20:47-04:002023-03-26T01:20:47-04:00MAJ Ken Landgren8198608<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>My Beats headphones.
