Did you know...
Do you know how the SADF classified their
radios? As a general rule this is how it worked.
A = TX power less than 1 watt
B = TX power less than 10 watts
C = TX power less than 100 watts
The last number if it is “low” indicates a HF set. A “higher” number for VHF.
Thanks to Mike ZS1RMS for this.
A B25 by any other name... ; )
Thanks to Gordon Reid ZS6RE who found these two
sites about the B25 as built in other countries:
The TRC300 is a 20watt SSB synthesized transceiver, and is part of a "family" of
portable units developed solely for military use. The lightweight, waterproof
set is enclosed in a sturdy aluminium alloy case, and provides short and medium
range HF communications facilities under the most severe operational conditions.
It can be used by unskilled personnel, and compatability with amplitude
modulated networks is achieved at the turn of a switch.

Can you help?
I'd love to get more accurate specifications as well as stories and reviews of this particular radio and its peripherals. If you have information, diagrams, mods or photos of other peripheral items for the B25, please contact me at zs2cli@qwest.co.za
