agripper Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 I know that the centurion BARV would have had a Larkspur radio at first but this would have been changed to a clansman 353 I think . I was set up with only 1 antena rather than 2 does this mean it would only have had one radio rather than teh 2 you would find in the sabre and fox. i would gues the only people to speak with would be the beach party or the ship. Can anyone shed any more light on this? :confused: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlienFTM Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 Gun tanks etc have two radios: officially one for troop work on the Combat Team Command net, the other for external comms e.g if attached to somebody else's combat team or to relay or rebroadcast messages. Unofficially, it is not unusual for a troop to commandeer a spare combat team frequency and use it for a chatter net to reduce traffic on the command net. The BARV would answer solely to his troop or squadron commander, and more than one set would be an expensive luxury. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andreadavide Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 Think that during my service we often installed a CB radio and a car stereo on the MVs... The CB was invaluable during long journeys on the motorways to know traffic conditions from lorry drivers... Needless to say that it was against each and every rule in the book.

agripper Posted March 27, 2009 Author Share Posted March 27, 2009 Dont think there would be any long distance work in the BARV and the Noise generated by teh Meteor engine makes normal communication difficult without head sets. Have got one of teh Clansman intercome systems to fit back in her and also looking to get teh radio soon. trying to get her back to in service condition. If anyone has any sugestions let me know. :cool: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
