Norge ---- Is that a PRC-77 or `25 you have on your back? And where is the flexible antenna?


Brings back a few memories there my friend...... :)

If you have a "radio operators licens" similar like CB, it is legal in Germany to use this former military radios 8)

Neat pics. Thats some kind of East German copy of a PRC-77. Also, I hate to complain, but ammo pouches are for(basically) an M-14, and you seem to be holding an XM-177e2 with a 30 rd. mag. None the less, excellent pics. If only I still had my Earnst Thiele 9X18 mm Makarov. Thanks. :D
