  AN/PRC-113 (HAVE QUICK) RADIO
  6-57. This man-portable UHF/VHF AM radio (NSN 5820-01-136-1519) has a quick, jam-resistant,
  ECCM transceiver. Pathfinders use it for short ranges—5 to 16 miles—for tactical, ground-to-ground, or
  ground-to-air communication.
  AN/PRC-117F (ALSO KNOWN AS RT-1796) RADIO
  6-58. This man-portable radio can transmit and receive in the 30 to 512 MHz frequency range. Thus, it
  can be used for FM, AM, and SATCOM communications. With this one radio system, a Ranger radio
  operator can communicate with any other radio system used in Ranger operations. The 117F operates in
  three distinct frequency ranges.
  y VHF low band – 30 MHz to 89.99999 MHz.
  y VHF high band – 90 MHZ to 224.99999 MHz.
  y UHF band – 225MHz to 512MHz.
  y 110 programmable radio nets.
  6-59. The 117F outputs 20 watts of power in the 90 mHz to 400 mHz range and 10 watts in the upper
  and lower frequency ranges. The 117F is menu driven. It uses Vinson, ANDVT, Fascinator, and KG-84
  embedded encryption. It operates on 26 volts of DC power (VDC), and requires two BA-5590
  nonrechargeable batteries. It has one H-250 handset, a VHF blade antenna with a flexible adapter base, a
  VHF/UHF flex antenna, a KDU remote-control cable, a wide battery box, and the AN/PRC-117F
  transceiver. It uses the AV-2040 satellite antenna used for SATCOM communications. With batteries
  installed, the 117F weighs 15.9 lbs.
  ASIP RADIO
  6-60. The ASIP is an FM, VHF, low-radio system with built-in communications security (COMSEC)
  and a built-in test (BIT). Its frequency range is 30,000 to 87,975 MHz. It can be used man-packed or
  vehicle-mounted. To power up in manpack configuration requires 13.5 VDC, which is provided by a
  single BA5590 battery. In vehicular mode, it operates on 27.5 VDC, which it draws the vehicle's battery.
  Four power settings include LOW (200 to 400 meters), MEDIUM (440 meters to 5 kilometers), HI (5 to 10
  kilometers), and PA (10 to 40 kilometers). The latter setting (PA) is only used when the ASIP is
  vehicle-mounted. It sends data at the rates of 600, 1,200, 2,400, 4,800, or 16,000 bits per second.
