I am in England and got a UK call using CEPT. Was able to make a few contacts to the east part of the US and the usual suspects in EU. Not sure if I confused anyone today with the 'accent' but I have in the past with a UK call. It was also strange hearing the few US callsigns with wall to wall Europeans

I imagine making contacts in Euro land is much easier with the 320 than it is the middle of nowhere (my QTH). Plus you have trees there.

Found this, i was missing the cw-key, dipole w/acc, bat ext cable etc. Hoping this will be in usable condition.

Ze package from germany arrived yesterday.
Out testing today. much easier using the org prc-320 wireantenna with meters, than the no/prc-111 wires with mhz markings.
The couterpoise had som wires that were broken, no problems to repair with some cabelshoes and solder.
Got the gasmask-mic for the infantry-headset, somthing for Pic? Guerrilla-portable with a gasmask... :)

Had som problem with the tuning earlier, when using the other wire antenna, worked much better now (end fed). Seems like you have to be pretty accurate with the tune knob.

Next thing i need is a 20cell nicd charger. Someone that knows about a mulitcharger (like RC-people uses), that charges 20cells nicd?
I know about the charger you guys uses, but i have 220v in the wall..

Go to the yahoo prc 320 group and snoop around there. It's full of former British signals people and they know what to use. Likely there is already a thread about it.

Already there.. ;)
Wondering about just going for the110v charger, got an inverter for my dillon rt-1200. But this means i cant trim my 223brass and charge my 320 batteries at the same time!!!

This is basically what I use for 24V nimh and Nicd packs. The Clansman is easy to charge as you can just connect alligator clips to it.

I use one. They are reasonable priced and do the job. Highly recommended by the guy that rebuilt my battery.
