I'm pretty sure the PRC-25 used a tube in the final amp, whereas the 841 used transistors. -- Gadget850 ( Ed) 21:03, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
"The 77 set is also used by the Australian Army Cadets and the Australian Air Force Cadets. The Australian Army does not use the 77 anymore; it has now been superseded by the RAVEN series."
I don't know the official status, but 5/7 RAR still has a lot of PRC-77s that they use, and also, I wonder why the cadets were mentioned? Cadet Units aren't issued with PRC-77s in my experience, but borrow them from Army units when they're willing.
Just outta interest my cadet unit has been issued them SGT Dturf ( talk) 03:58, 26 May 2009 (UTC)
From the article:
I'd like to see a cite for that, and I know of many exceptions. In fact many NATO countries have had their own digital radio projects such as the British Bowman (communications system). This looks like a US centric view. --21:31, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
Single contributors mainly have experience in one military. It is up to other contributors to add multi-national viewpoints. The original author needs to keep in mind that his or her writing should reflect which military the article refers to. This allows other contributors to update in a manner that makes sense. A case in point, the article refers to the AN in AN/PRC-77 as "Army/Navy". It does not, it means American/NATO. -- Jfdavis668 ( talk) 14:49, 23 November 2010 (UTC)

== Source that says that Norway use it? ==
It says that only elite or prioritized Norwegian units use the MRR, and the others use the older POS. Is there any source that backs this up, or is it mere speculation? 212.17.141.54 ( talk) 21:21, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
So there is a radio designated PRC-1077 that in Finnish service is called LV217M, very little information seems to be freely available on it in English, in Finnish Defence Force it is referred to as "modernized LV217" LV217 of course being the Finnish designation to PRC-77, would it be OK to add information about PRC-1077 in this article as it seems to be related?
