Chubbster Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 Hi all, question - which combination of Clansman radios where fitted in ferrets? Only 352 and 353? Or two 353's? Would there ever have been a need to fit a DMU? Cheers alex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlienFTM Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 Hi all, question - which combination of Clansman radios where fitted in ferrets? Only 352 and 353? Or two 353's? Would there ever have been a need to fit a DMU? Cheers alex In our Rebro Ferrets in BAOR we had (needed) two times 353. Have to say I never saw any other combination, but that's because I wasn't there all that much longer or in any other role. Come to think of it, the RSM's Ferret and AFAIK the LO's Ferret both had 2*353. TBF the LO's Ferret only ever saw light (as in all four Command Troop Ferrets went out at the same time) on Ex Javelin / Spearpoint / Crusader 80, and then not in its intended role. Rest of the time it served either as a spare vehicle or a temporary cannibalisation victim. Find someone who crewed an SSM's Ferret, he might tell you it had a 353 and a manpack. I couldn't say.
