I paid $49 for a pair of CPRC26s, with yellow discs, from this auction:

I hope the freqs will work with the RT-524 I just got for my Skunque.

The Italian radio guy,Pietro, has battery converters for $80.

I think these will fit in a PRC68 pouch for temp use.

The yellow disks show that these units operate from 50.0 - 51.0 Mhz, in 6 incremental crystal controlled bands. The 6 meter Amateur Band is 50.0 - 54.0 Mhz.

That particular range, at that particular time (c.1950s) was used for Infantry units as well as units attached for taskings.

Compatibility should be OK with RT 524, since they operate 35.0 ~ 75.0, however range and operating conditions are dictated by antenna impedence, capacitance, balun ratio, end fed, centre fed, dipoles, and all sorts of other technical stuff which baffles me 'cause I'm only an operator, not a techie.

Anyhow, have fun trying stuff out. You'd be surprised at some results, depending again on atmospheric conditions.

I once had communications with an airborne Range Control chopper on an Artillery shoot in Yakima, Washington. I was using an AN/PRC-25 and buddy in the CP copied all while he was operating on an RT-524A. That was from an exercise area in CFB Borden, c.1983.
