I did not ask if you hold an amateur radio
licence?
?
I would be very interested to hear about Bowman, specifically
are the frequencies designated in the Clansman way, ie 2Khz above.
?
Does it have ALE and is it being used?
?
What isn't secret or restricted even, would be very
interesting
?
When were you in 2 Para (Signal platoon?)

Just joined the group
Belton, Alan
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýFirst posting from me, thought I would log on and say
"hello" to the rest of the group!? Have had involvement with Racal kit over
the last 30 years or so, in various capacities, as well as the other offerings
from Plessey and Marconi.? Main stuff I have on the go at present is a TRA
967, and Clansman stuff including PRC 320's (in various stages of completeness
and working ability)?and 350's and a later version PTR 1851 with
applique.? In the past have lugged Syncal and Comcal kit around various
inhospitable parts of the globe, with varying degrees of success, and more
recently have started to see what the Jaguar series has got to offer, hence
coming across this forum when after info on the BCC 66 range.
Have recently moved to N Essex, and not yet got any
aerials rigged to transmit with (6m and 4m), but hope to be radiating
soon.
All from me,

Jaguar BCC66HB help
Hi
Does anyone have any schematic diagrams for the BCC66H Jaguar radio? I am trying to get rid of the 150hz tone on tx, in the alignment instructions, it explains how to measure it but doesnt go into any detail as to how to adjust it. Speaking to non-military radio's is a no-no with the tone present at the intended level. Any help appreciated. regards Tony |

Thanks for your reply concerning the 929.? It
does use the 6-pin connector.? I have the TRA931 manual but am always
looking for the?specific documentation.? I am currently using the
receiver with a 600 ohm transformer and small amplified speaker from Radio Shack
and find it works very well.
?
Batteries for the TRA931 and RA929 seem to be hard
to come by, at least here in the US....

Many thanks,

RA929
Brian, I have never seen a 929, but if it has the "standard" Racal 6 or 7 pin audio connector, then the little MA988 speaker / amplifier should work; it works with the other equipment of that period, like the TRA931 and 967. The AC and DC power supplies have built in audio amps, some also have built in speakers. Also the useful MA984 control box has an audio amplifier in it; these can be cheap (mine was 5) since it's not obvious what they are... I always assumed that the 929 was pretty much the receive part of the TRA931. Manuals for that are easy enough to find. 73 Dan ac6ao / g3ncr |
RA 929
Gents:
I have a very nice RA929 receiver but have been able to find very little information on this radio. Currently, I have need of a rebuildable MA934 battery and a manual copy for a MA945S battery charger. Also, was there a speaker intended for use with the RA929? Thanks, Brian, K7AIS Portland, Oregon, USA |
Re: PRM 4740 (Caracal) info required please

Hi Tony. ? Yes, the receiver works on both noise & tone squelch, so it works with normal radios fine.? Tunes in 25kHz steps only.? Sorry, I have no handbooks for it ! ? Cheers, Chris. ffr58kk90 wrote:

Re: PRM 4740 (Caracal) info required please
Hi Chris
Thanks for the reply, I have printed it off to take when I go and see the guy with the radio next week. My intention is to use it primarily on 4m as there are quite a few people on 70mhz locally. I take it that the radio will only program in 25khz steps, i.e. 70.400,70.425,70.450 etc. Our local 6m repeater uses 50.790, so it may be no good for this. Do you know if the receiver will unmute without the 150hz tone being present? some mil radio's will not unmute, so obviously talking to people who don't have a mil set is a no-go. Cheers for the information, hopefully I will buy the set, assuming it works!!, if anyone has a service manual kicking around, I would appreciate a copy just in case. best regards Tony --- In Racal-manpacks@..., Chris Lumsden <spectreman51@...> wrote: to the Caracal, minus the hopping. positions, PR & PTR.

Hi Tony. ? I own a couple of Racal PRM 4720 VHF sets which are very similar to the Caracal, minus the hopping. ? Easy to program.? On the Volume control knob, there are two positions, PR & PTR.

I have used my PRM 4720 radios many times on the 6m band with success. After I turned down the 150Hz Tx tone deviation to minimum, I can
access the 6m repeaters here very well. The radio is well suited for repeater working. The tone adjustment involves opening the radio & adjusting a pot.

Re: any one have software on fopply for an/pcr-139 racal programming
I have some PRC134 radios which are almost the same as the PRC139.
Unfortunately I have just the MX-1151u hand programmer. I am also looking for the PC based software. However you should know that even if you do find the software, you will need the special PC to radio cable ( connects to the side of the radio). I believe this cable has some active components in the db9 computer connector, so is not just a simple lead between pc and radio. It is very very difficult to find programming information for these radios; let me know if you have any radios or PRC139 stuff for sale. Vincent |
Racal TRA-929
oregonis4me
Hello,
I just became the proud owner of 3 Racal TRA-929 SSB Tranceivers. I'm wondering if anyone ou there can help me get a copy of the operating manual for this unit? I'd be glad to buy an original manual or pay for copying charges. I would settle for a schematic and operating instructions if someone could provide them. Thank You, Jim Allen NU6AM |
