Hi Tjalf,Have you ever tried to copy the ROM in a BCC67 & fit it to a
TRA3900 or even swap boards.Keith.

Hello Alex,
The TRA3900 was a prototype for the bowman project in the UK. The
BCC67 was an actual transceiver from racal. They used in that time
the BCC67 as a base for the TRA3900. Internal they are more ore less
the same, but the names for the signals/ wires and markings on the
pcb are different.
The BCC67 of 66 or panther or jaguar, all names for the same family
has more successor. The canadian use the PRC 522 (combat radio has
one for sale). I would not recommend the the TRA3900. The have
some problems. for instance my TRA3900 sometimes refuse to initalise
and the next day it works great. Also is the frequency setting
awkward. you can only program channels and the switch to that
channel. You can not just enter the frequency from the keypad like
the BCC67
It is a frequency hopping radio, but you can also work in normal
mode, but the squelch operates only on a 150Hz subtone. You can only
use the hopping and secure modes if you can fill the radio with a pc,
or fill gunn.

Hi everybody,
I am new to this group. I have intention to buy a racal
TRA3900/BCC67.
After reading post in this group about this radio, I found that
this
radio was a prototype. Can someone share with me experience with
this
transceiver? Can frequency easely be changed? The seller told me
that
it was not a frequency hopping radio. As my intention is to use
it
with other ham on 50 Mhz,this parameter is very important. Thanks
in
advance and sorry for my bad english
Best regards
Alex
