I am still finding good military surplus in my purchase from the estate of Mr. Holbrook who owned and operated a Military Museum in Miami Fl. This radio does work, the lights lite up and you can hear the radio crackle when you adjust the volume up high,  I  have no idea how to use it or operate it but it works as far as the green lites and radio noise. I will not ship this item outside U.S. AN/PRC-149 Survival Radio      Manufactured in June 2000 AN/PRC-149 Personal Locator Beacon / Voice Transceivers (PLBVT) The AN/PRC-149 is a handheld, half-duplex, personal emergency communication radio and emergency location beacon transmitter. The radio set operates in the voice transceiver mode on three manually selected emergency frequencies. A triple frequency beacon mode provides transmission on the three international Search And Rescue (SAR) frequencies for position determination by a SAR response team. The AN/PRC-149 is carried in the crewman's survival vest (LPU-28/Tri-Sar) or flight suit and is activated by the crewman in an emergency. The radio set is intended for use in non-combat SAR.   In the early 2000's the AN/PRC-149 was procured by the U.S. Navy for Naval aviators from Israeli vendor Tadiran-Spectralink Ltd. Trimble GPS electronics were incorporated by Tadiran and Signal Engineering, Inc. in a joint venture. Tadiran-Spectralink has also provided the AN/URT-140 Radio Beacon to the Navy, a unit with a position beacon that is packed into the pilot's ejection seat for automatic operation upon aircraft emergency egress. At their peak, more than 10,000 AN/PRC-149 Radio Sets were in use in the U.S. Navy aviation communities.                   On Aug-15-08 at 21:22:26 PDT, seller added the following information: Sellers: Get your own map of past buyers.
