  RT-339/AN-PRC-28

--(The red frame shows the PRC-28 compared to a PRC-10)--
is a one-channel crystal controlled version of PRC-10. PRC-28 was, we think, a "give away" radio for some inexperienced personnel so they couldn't possibly fool with the controls and change the tuning by mistake. Also, if captured, the enemy could not tune into other channels and disrupt and/or intercept other higher priority channels.

Frequency range:
30 ... 42 MHz
