JakLomas Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 Can Vehicle mounted Clansman 353 Radios talk to PRC 350's? Thanks, Jak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g0ozs Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 Jak Within the limits of the RT350 tuning range yes. All Clansman VHF radios 349/350/351/352 are compatible with the 353 in "Narrow" mode within the limits of their frequency coverage. In practice for ham radio use the 353 and 350 can interwork on the 6 metre (50MHz) band only using 25KHz channels and ~ 3.5KHz deviation with 150Hz tone squelch. 6 metres is the only amateur band that both of them can tune to as the 350 doesnt cover 70MHz. The other 353 modes are for compatibility with 1950s US kit still widely used by NATO countries when Clansman came out ("Wide Tone") and for compatibility with Larkspur VHF sets on 50KHz channel spacing (Wide). Both use approximately 6KHz deviation so seem overmodulated (loud) to Clansman and civilian receivers, and the "Wide Tone" also has 150Hz tone squelch.
