              History of the Squad Radio 
                
              So, how this it was beginning? 
                I am sure that lots of hams do not any imagine of the first handie 
                talkie portable radio... For this time of MOTOROLLA, KENWOOD, 
                ICOM (and so on) we completely forget the fairly days when almost 
                every country made the own military handie 
                talkie portable radio. The report describes some of the ancient 
                mobile devices.  
                
                
              Requirement 
                for Radio Set AN/PRC-6 were formally stated in March 1945 Intended 
                primarily as a replacement for Radio Set SCR- 536, the PRC-6 was 
                to be used as a means of communication between foot troops of 
                the most forward elements (company platoon) and between infantry 
                and close support armored elements. This new set had to be compatible 
                with Radio Sets SCR- 300 and GRC- 3 through 8 (B) and had to have 
                a range of 300 yards in jungle and 1 mile in rolling terrain.
