Racal Handset


 

I have a PRM4090 and a Syncal-30, both missing handsets. They take a
standard 7-pin or 6-pin military M-S connector, as found in US military
stores (or from Amphenol). However, if I put a PRC-25 handset on them,
I get very low modulation, making me think the handset output is not
correct.

When I talked about this year before, I got numerous replies telling me
to buy handsets on Ebay, that they were all over. Well, none of them are
in the US... and after a year of looking I bit the bullet and spent way
too much shipping for a handset marked 5965-99-620-5669 which claims to
be for the Clansman sets. It has a connector that looks identical except
for one guide mark in a different place.

So.... anyone in the US care to trade for a handset that will actually
work with the Syncal-30? Or is this the right general handset with the
wrong connector?

Hi Scott,
Check out this item, 190375189093 presently on ebay.

The seller states that it has the proper 6-pin connector for the syncal 30 radio.

These sets are not Clansman, nor are they Larkspur. Larkspur handsets use the 6 pin Plessey connector. The headset on e-bay 190375189093 will fit. This is a Racal headset of that era. There are handsets about sometimes with a 6 pin and sometimes with a 7 pin plug. Both are compatible with the 7 pin socket. Obviously only the 6 pin is compatible with the 6 pin socket. Hope this helps.
