Racal manpack models list


 

Hi, All,

I'm working towards a database of the Racal equipment which interests
us, beginning with the manpacks (including green handhelds
and "squad" radios) themselves, and eventually including all the
contemporary green equipment too. I'd begun this during the last few
days, but thanks to member Alan, I now have a bigger list of manpacks
which includes non-Racal models too. Eventually, I'll add a file of
non-Racal manpacks, since most of us will be likley to be interested
in these too.

The following is the complete list of Racal (including BCC) models
known to me. Before I finish adding a brief description and spec for
each model, is anyone aware of any models which I haven't currently
included?


A13
A14HP
A14LP
A16 (aka PRC-316)
BCC32V (aka SSB32)
BCC39
BCC39C
BCC66 "Jaguar-V"
BCC70 "Jaguar-U"
Caracal (PRM-4740A)
Jaguar-U
Jaguar-V
MA4040A
PRM4021
PRM4031
PRM4041
PRM4051 "Squadcal 2"
PRM4090
PRM4515
PRM4700A
PRM4720A
PRM4735
PRM4740A "Caracal"
RA929G
TRA906 "Squadcal"
TRA921 "Syncal"
TRA929 "Minical"
TRA931 "Syncal 30"
TRA931A "Syncal 30"
TRA931AP "Syncal 30"
TRA931L "Syncal 30"

PRM-4030 is a 4031 without ATU

PRM-4040 is supposedly the same, a 4041 w/o the ATU,

Combat radio (when they had them) was selling the BCC-39B model.

?Hi Bob and Group,
?? I have the BCC-39B. The BCC-39( not B)? ?users manual I have shows it with US type audio connectors. I haven't learned anything about a "C" model but there is a BCC-39D which has a built in ATU instead of the clip on ATU and the display is LED instead of liquid crystal. There is also The next in the line called the Panther H which is a BCC-39D with the addition of frequency hopping.
?
?Looking forward to learning a lot more about the Racal manpacks.

Hi All,

PRM-4040 is supposedly the same, a 4041 w/o the ATU,
The 4040 I have is marked MA4040A, not PRM. It is part of the PRM-4041.

Hi, Tom,

Yes, I've just checked with "Janes", and that shows MA.

That's the first 4041 other than my own that I've come across! Do you
have any of the items unique to this model - Remote Control
Handset, Extended Control Handset?

best regards,


Bob

All I have is the MA4040A RT. I might have the interconnect cable to the
ATU but I am not sure, it looks like it should work.

I think I have a carrying frame coming.

I really need the VRA4026A AATU and antenna if anyone has them for sale.

Tom


 

There is also a 4720B2. I had a few of them that were made under licence in the Phillipines. They have an inbuilt speaker and microphone which is added by replacing the front panel.

Have I missed something but is there a new and/or revised RACAL list of models etc

The one I have seen on the internet does not include many items, some of which I have, or had!


I have often hought it would be good to be able to update a list when new items surface.

There is my list of Racal equipment here.?

I do need to update it as I have found a number of new items and would welcome any additions others have.

The PRM470A and B was also used by the Greek military and may have been made under licence in Greece.

There was also a Chinese copy.

Hi

The PRM4720 was locally manufactured in Greece by Hellenic Aerospace Industries (HAI) from kits supplied from Racal in the UK. Several thousands of kits were supplied.
Pirate copies of Racal batteries and some radios also originated from Greece.?
PRM4720¡¯s were also locally manufactured in Spain and Switzerland in small quantities.

Hello,
Have you completed your purposed list of manuals as there are a couple of had to get manuals..
Thanks
Terry


 

Hi Terry
I don't know what Bob has done since 2004 and subsequently 2020 when the last post was made on this subject, but I've worked on it and my website at https://www.radiohistory.uk/Racallist.htm? has a comprehensive list of Racal equipment.? I see you mention manuals, is there a specific one you're looking for.
?
Regards
Dave g1jwg


 

Hi,

I hope you don't mind my unsolicited email but I have just had a look at your web site and noted you did
not show a brochure for the Racal RA3711 HF receiver. I attach a scanned copy of the brochure for you if it is of any use?
Not only do I have a copy of the brochure but I also have a RA3711 receiver.
I also have somewhere copies of very old Racal Communications brochures dating back to the 1960's if they may be of interest?

Good web site by the way.

Best regards

Howard, Vk4BS
I designed the front panel for the PRM4720B. I've never seen it referred to as a B2 though.
