Field Tests of VHF Man-Pack Radios

Abstract

At the request of the Advanced Research Projects Agency and the United States Army Electronics Laboratories, a field test program was conducted in Thailand to determine the performance capability of selected VHF man-pack radio sets. The principal objective of the test program was to determine the effective range of the sets in flat, open terrain, with standard whip antennas, and under controlled conditions simulating potential operational situations. Secondary objectives were to compare variations in performance between day and night, variations with changes in frequency, and variations with changes in antenna position and height. The tests were conducted over the delta region near Bangkok. The following sets were tested: AN/PRC-35 (XC-3) radio set, AN/PRC-25 radio set, AN/PRC-25 with 15-watt amplifier, AN/PRC-25 with 35-watt amplifier, Handie-Talkie FM Radiophone, Model H21DCN-1000.
