For now just want to see if it works, is it 24v? I was going to put it in my M1009, the power cord that came with it has a set of aligator clips on it, didn't want to go hooking it up to anything with out knowing what the power source should be.

These look like the technical orders that you are seeking. Do some googles, etc. and hopefully you'll find some useful stuff:

No luck with the actual TMs but did find some info, got it up and running. Looks like I need a VRC-83 mount to install it in my M1009, anyone have one they want to sell or know where I can get one? [FONT=&quot][/FONT]

Those TM or TO's are for the TRC-176 but you have to realize that the radio in there is a RT-1319 and depending on modification a A or B. The mods are for ECCM. As far as the radio it is a 24 VDC radio and it puts out 2w in low power and 10w in high power but that is Peak envelope power. The TRC-176 has a AC input and a DC power cord that is in the lid which i haven't used but it should be 24 VDC because the radio. The 1319 was used in 3 different configurations, AN/TRC-176, AN/VRC-83 and AN/PRC-113 which is the radio with just a battery box. The TM or TO for the radio by itself is 31R2-2URC62-1. If you want the radio repaired or aligned I can do it, most people tend to damage the radio by adjusting power out using a watt meter and you can't without compensating for different power measurements. The radio will over heat very fast when left in high power and keyed.

Thanks for the info, I found the AC power cord and the radio works fine. Now I just need to find the tray to mount it in my 1009 and am looking for a batt box so I can pull out the radio and use it out of the vehicle.

Also if you got the VRC-83 it would cost more because it has a 30 watt amplifier. You can seperate the radio from the outside case by unscrewing like 4 or 8 screws on the outside of the case near the handles. Once you pull it out you could hard mount the case or just create a mount for that which would reduce weight. Do you want to use the speaker or do you want to just use the radio with a handset? If you have any questions please shoot me a email @ jwbronco@cox.net
