What are you even doing!? Using military gear for anything other then war is an exercise in futility.OH you have a SINGCARS mount? Single-Channel Air/Ground - I don't think those radios can be adapted. I also know an indvidual who was involved in the development of that technology. BTW - I have an encryption module for the radio your using. It's not programmed obviously but if you self program it Putin will never know what your saying!! Cough. Legal to Own... Not so much to use.

Hi there. I have an interest in Naval radio equipment as well! Check out my videos. Let me know what models you have (URT-23? etc)? Most of the stuff in this video is 2000 and later. But Sincgars as a system dates back for sure. As for adapting, we use them extensively on the 6 meter ham band (50-54 MHz) without problem. 73!

Sounds almost like listening to WCBS Newsradio 88 in the 1970's and '80's; their homemade teletype SFX (as heard behind their anchors) sounds like it was recorded in a corner of their teletype room where there were three Model 28 KSR's, and they would have been all in operation when a microphone was placed in the area to record them typing out news dispatches. These certainly had a different "sound" to them than the workhorse Model 15's.

Absolutely! That is the great thing about them. For clear communication, this radio will do 30MHz to 512 MHz (covering 3 or so ham bands) P.25 is an option but hard to find on the radio. I think the 7825 radio is more likely to be found with the p.25 option. 73!
