A PRC-77
is mounted into
AM-2060 (power supply and audio amplifier), both together mounted to:
MT-1029 (vehicle mounting); together with
AS-1729 (antenna) form the
vehicle radio set AN/VRC-53 resp. AN/VRC-64.

AM-2060:
    The audio amplifier and power supply of the radio set provides the PRC-25 with power, and amplifies the NF signal from the radio. The cable CX-4655 connects both parts, the battery is not used. [ AM-2060 plus cable CX-4655 also are called OA-3633A/GRC. ].
    The antenna AS-1729 can be remotely controlled from the AM-2060 by a ten- step switch.
MT-1029:
    The mounting fixes the AM-2060 mechanically to its place, and connects the set to the power and communication system of the vehicle.
    It is used for different radios; the following are part of the collection:
  • RT-246 Mobile radio;
  • RT-524 Mobile radio;
  • AM-2060 (see this page)
  • VRC-240 Mobile air radio.
AS-1729:
    The antenna can be tuned manually (knob at the antenna base) or by remote control, (knob at the AM-2060). Its components are:
  • MX-6707 antenna base with tuning unit
  • AS-1730/VCR lower antenna element (abt. 1.60 m long)
  • AT-1095/VRC upper antenna element (abt 1.33 m long).

    The connecting cable is called CX4722A/VRC ;
    The antenna is constructed as an upright dipole.

    Frequency range:
    30 .. 75,95 MHz
