  RF-10

is a modern Czech manpack. The handbook dates from 1989, up to the year 2000 the batteries were charged regularly in a depot.
 
Compared to other manpacks it is very small.
 
It can be carried with or without a pouch; on the chest, on the back or on the belt.
 
It comes with all accessories in a big plastic bag . In it is a large styrofoam box, that contains (in my case):

  • The radio with batterypack
  • two rod antennas , different lenth
  • one spare front
  • packing list
  • description (Czech)
  • carrying bag with three carrying belts
  • second battery in a bag
  • handset
  • connecting wire
  • two wire antennas , different length
  • guy rope
  • one padlock (?)
  • small sheet metal box with accessories

    Different ranges can be covered by using the four antennas.

    The battery pack contains 5 NiCad- batteries, 1.2V / 4Ah, that also can be replaced by today's D- batteries. (see picture gallery)
