TM 11-5820-590-12-1 WARNING AVOID R. F. BURNS

Do not touch the antenna when the radio set is being tuned or transmitting.

WARNING DANGEROUS VOLTAGES EXIST IN THIS EQUIPMENT

Be careful when working on universal power supply circuits or on ac line connections.

WARNING DANGEROUS CHEMICALS ARE USED IN NICKEL-CADMIUM BATTERIES

The electrolyte used in nickel-cadmium batteries contains potassium hydroxide (KOH), which is a caustic chemical agent. Serious and deep burns of body tissue will result if the electrolyte comes in contact with the eyes or any part of the body. Use rubber gloves, rubber apron, and protective goggles when handling the electrolyte. If accidental contact with the electrolyte is made, use ONLY clean water and immediately (seconds count) flush contaminated areas. Continue flushing with large quantities of clean water for at least 15 minutes. Seek medical attention without delay.

WARNING EXPLOSIVE GASES ARE GENERATED BY NlCKEL-CADMIUM BATTERIES

Hydrogen and oxygen gases are generated in explosive proportions while the nickel-cadmium battery is being charged. Charge the nickel-cadmium battery in a well-ventilated area to reduce concentrations of explosive gases. Turn off the battery charger before connecting or disconnecting the nickel-cadmium battery to prevent arcing. Do not use matches or an open flame in the charging area.

TM 11-5820-590-12-1 WARNING
Remove the magnesium battery from Battery Box CY-6314( )/PRC-74 when the RT-794/PRC is not being used. This is required to insure that hydrogen gas (a by-product of Magnesium Battery, BA-4386/U Discharge Action) does not accumulate. Personnel may be injured and equipment damaged if the gas explodes.

WARNING
You can tell the difference between Magnesium Battery, BA-4386, and Lithium Battery, BA-5598, by looking at their size. The Lithium Battery is half the size (smaller than) of the Magnesium Battery

WARNING P P-4514/PRC-74 GROUND THE INSTRUMENT

To minimize shock hazard, the instrument chassis and cabinet must be connected to an electrical ground. The instrument is equipped with a three conductor ac power cable. The power cable must either be plugged into an approved three contact electrical outlet or used with a three contact to two contact adapter with the ground wire (green) firmly connected to an electrical ground (safety ground) at the power outlet. The power jack and mating plug of the power cable must meet International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) safety standards.

WARNING
DO not attempt internal service or adjustment unless another person, capable of rendering first aid and resuscitation, is present.

WARNING SAFETY PRECAUTION

A periodic review of safety precautions in TB-385-4, Safety Precautions for Maintenance of Electrical/Electronic Equipment, is recommended. When the equipment is operated with covers removed, DO NOT TOUCH exposed connections or components. MAKE CERTAIN you are not grounded when making connections or adjusting components inside the test instrument.

WARNING
A lithium-sulfur dioxide (Li-S02) battery used with the equipment contains pressurized sulfur dioxide (S02) gas. The gas is toxic, and the battery MUST NOT be abused in any way which may cause the battery to rupture.

WARNING
DO NOT heat, short circuit, crush, puncture, mutilate, or disassemble batteries.

WARNING
DO NOT USE any battery which shows signs of damage, such as bulging, swelling, disfigurement, brown liquid in the plastic wrap, a swollen plastic wrap, etc.

WARNING
DO NOT test Li-S02 batteries for capacity. WARNING DO NOT recharge Li-S02 batteries.

Change 8 G

TM-11-5820-590-12-1

WARNING
DO NOT use water to extinguish Li-SO2 battery fires if a shock hazard exists due to high voltage electrical equipment in the immediate vicinity (i.e., greater than 30 volts, alternating current (ac) or direct current (dc)).

WARNING
If the battery compartment becomes hot to the touch, if you hear a hissing sound (i.e., battery venting), or smell irritating sulfur dioxide gas, IMMEDIATELY Turn Off the equipment. Remove the equipment to a well ventilated area or leave the area.

WARNING
DO NOT use a Halon type fire extinguisher on a lithium battery fire.

WARNING
In the event of a fire, near a lithium battery(ies), rapid cooling of the battery(ies) is important. Use a carbon dioxide (C02) extinguisher. Control of the equipment fire, and cooling, may prevent the battery from venting and potentially exposing lithium metal. In the event that lithium metal becomes involved in fire, the use of a graphite based Class D fire extinguisher is recommended, such as Lith-X or MET-L-X.

WARNING
DO NOT store lithium batteries with other hazardous materials and keep them away from open flame or heat.

1-7. Description of Major Components

a. The radio set is a low-powered, fully transistorized receiver-transmitter that can be used for either point-to-point or netting operation. The radio set operates on a single frequency for both transmit and receive functions. The transmitter is enabled by a push to-talk microphone button, a telegraph key, or automatic Keyer KY-468/GRA-71 (part of Coder-Burst Transmission Group AN/GRA71) . Coder-burst Transmission Group AN/ GRA-71 is not supplied as part of the AN/PRC-74B. The receiver is operative only when the transmitter is not being used; therefore, communication is only on a one-way reversible basis. b. The radio set may be operated from alternating current (ac) or direct current (dc) powerlines, or from a 24-volt vehicle battery when Power Supply PP-4514/PRC-74 is available. During normal operation, the radio set is mancarried and operated from either Battery Box CY6314/PRC-74 (dry battery pack) or Battery Box CY6121/PRC-74 (wet battery pack) (fig. 1-2). Latches on two sides of the receiver-transmitter (rt) permit attachment to either the dry or wet battery pack, or to Power Supply PP-4514/PRC-74 (external power supply and battery charger). Retractable legs are provided on the base of the wet battery pack to support Receiver-Transmitter Radio RT-794B/PRC74 (rt unit) when it is used in an upright position. c.The radio set can be operated with the use of either Whip Antenna AS-1887A/PRC 74 ( fig. 13) or various configurations of a wire antenna. The Whip antenna consists of Mounting MT-3613/PRC74 (mounting bracket) which attaches to the radio set (fig. 1-3), a Base, Antenna Support AB955/PRC-74 which attaches to the mounting bracket, and the whip antenna which attaches to the antenna support. Antenna Kit MK-911A/PRC74 (shown in the top half of fig. 1-4) consists of two reels of antenna wire with the required antenna

which plugs and weights, two reels of Dacron cord, and a dipole fixture. The components of the wire antenna kit can be arranged in any of the configurations described in paragraph 2-5. d. Accessory equipment (fig. 1-5) includes Headset H-140/U, Key, Telegraph KY-562/U, and Microphone M-80/U. Bag, Accessories CW863/PRC-74 (fig. 1-6) is provided to store the antennas and accessory equipment when they are not in use. Cable Assembly, Special Purpose, Electrical CX-10239/PRC-77 (fig. 1-7) permits the use of the radio set with automatic Keyer KY468/GRA-71 (part of Coder-Burst Transmission Group AN/GRA-71). e. Battery Box CY-6314A/PRC-74 (fig. 12) consists of two 15-volt battery blocks connected in parallel to provide an open circuit terminal voltage of + 15 volts. Battery capacity is 14-ampere hours with life expectancy of 24 hours (9-minutes receive, 1-minute transmit duty cycle). The radio set will operate on one battery block for a reduced time period A battery terminal voltage of less than 11 volts, measured during transmission, indicates low batteries which will result in a reduced radio frequency (RF) power output from the radio set. f. The wet cell battery (fig. 1-2) consists of 10 nickel-cadmium cells, connected in series, to provide a nominal voltage of 12.0 volts. The open circuit voltage of a discharged battery is 12.5 volts or less, and that of a full' charged battery will be 13 volts or more. Unless otherwise indicated by a warning tag or the battery, the wet cell battery is always shipped in a discharged state .

2-3. Radio Set Installation 2-2. Checking Unpacked Equipment

a. Inspect the equipment for damage incurred during shipment. If the equipment has been damaged, report the damage on DD Form 6 (para 1-3). Installation procedures for the radio set depend on the type of operation desired; that is. man pack. vehicular or semi-permanent. Installation procedures for the three types of operation are given in a, b, and c below.

2-1

C 3, TM 11-5820-590-12-1
a. Man Pack Operation. The man pack method requires the use of either the dry or wet cell battery packs ( figs. 1-1 and 1-2). To connect either battery pack to the rt unit proceed as follows: Note battery WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS on page i. (1) Place the battery pack on a flat surface so that the connector on the battery pack is facing upward. (2) Mate the connector (J301, fig. 1-8) on the bottom of the rt unit with the connector on the battery pack. (3) Engage and lock the two latches located on both sides of the rt unit. (4) Connect the rt unit to the antenna (para 2-5). b. Vehicular Operation. The vehicular method requires the use of a vehicle with a 24- t28volt generating system. To connect the rt unit to the vehicle, remove the battery case from the rt unit by releasing the two snap fasteners that secure the battery case to the rt unit and proceed as follows: (1) Place the rt unit in its mounting position (fig. 1-8) on Power Supply PP-4514/PRC-74 (external power supply and battery charger) slides and slide the rt unit forward until J301 on the back of the rt unit mates with J4 on the PP-4514/PRC-74 case. Secure the two side latches. (2) Select two dc power cables (cables W4 and W1, fig. 1-8) and connect the two cables as shown in B. figure 3-4. (The location of J1 on the power supply is shown in fig. 1-8). Be sure to connect the positive terminal of cable W4 to the positive terminal of the vehicle battery and the negative terminal of the cable to the negative terminal of the vehicle battery. (3) Connect the rt unit to the antenna (para 2-5). c. Semi-permanent Operation. The semipermanent method requires a source of 220 volts at 50 to 400 cycles per second (cps), or 110 volts at 50 to 400 cps, or a 28-volt dc power supply. To connect the rt unit to the fixed source of power, remove the battery case from the rt unit by releasing the two snap fasteners that secure the battery case to the rt unit, and proceed as follows: (1) Place the rt unit in its mounting position (fig. 1-8) on the PP-4514/PRC-74 slides and slide the rt unit forward until J301 on the back of the rt unit mates with J4 on the PP-4514/PRC-74. Secure the two side latches. (2) Refer to figure 1-8 and select the correct power cable for the available power source. Note. The selection of the correct power cable for the available power source automatically provides the correct input connections to J1 on the PP-4514/ PRC-74. No other adjustments or connections are required when changing from one source of fixed power to another. (3) Connect the selected cable between J1 on the PP-4514/PRC-74 and the power source as shown in A, fig. 3-4. (4) Connect the rt unit to the antenna (para 2-5). d. Operation With Coder-Burst Equipment. To operate the radio set with the AN/GRA-71 coder-burst equipment, connect one end of Cable Assembly, Special Purpose, Electrical CX10239/PRC-74 (fig. 1-7) to J1 on Keyer KY-468 /GRA-71. Connect the other end of this cable to one of the AUDIO connectors on the front panel of the radio set. Operate the equipment as specified in paragraph 3-4. Refer to TM 11 -5835-224-1 2 for additional information on the AN/GRA-71.

2-4. Siting
The following should be considered when locating the antenna: a. Radio signals are absorbed and sometimes reflected by nearby obstructions, such as hills, metal buildings and bridges, or telephone lines that extend above the height of the antenna. Transmitted signals have a greater range when the antenna is as high above ground as possible. Transmission and reception are best over water or level ground. b. If transmission and reception in all directions are required, place the antenna on the highest hill within the designated area. c. When in rear areas, avoid placing the radio set near sources of electrical interference, such as powerlines or telephone lines, radar sets, and field hospitals.

2-2

C 3, TM 11-5820-590-12-1
d. Try several locations within the general area and select the one that provides the best signals from the desired stations. e. Enemy jamming action against the receiver is always a possibility. The effects of enemy jamming may be reduced by locating the antenna so that nearby obstructions act as a screen in the direction of probable sites of enemy jamming transmitters. This screening action may also reduce the transmitted signal strength in a direction toward the enemy, thereby making it more difficult for the enemy to intercept the signals. (4) Attach the whip antenna to the antenna support base and screw the antenna support base (fig. 1-3) into the whip mounting bracket. (5) Connect the lead from the antenna base to the ANT (red) terminal (fig. 3-1) of the radio set. (6) Set the frequency range selector switch (fig. 1-3), located at the bottom of the antenna loading coil, to correspond to the operating frequency. (7) Tune the radio set as outlined in para 3-2 and 3-3. Note. If time and conditions permit, a counterpoise be connected to the radio set ground terminal as indicated in (8) and (9) below. (8) Attach one of the antenna reels to the GRD (black) terminal of the radio set. (9) Unwind the antenna wire to approximately twice the length of the whip antenna and lay wire on the ground in a convenient direction away from the radio set. (This wire acts as the counterpoise.) Note. If the radio set is operated near a large metal structure, a clip lead attached to a clean conducting point will permit the structure to be used as a counterpoise in place of the antenna wire. (10) Check the frequency range selector switch whenever the operating frequency of the radio set is changed. b. Slant Wire Antenna. A slant wire antenna is much more effective than the whip antenna. The slant wire antenna requires the use of dipole antenna wire (fig. 2-5) and an antenna support. It is used when greater range is necessary than the whip antenna can provide, and when time or conditions do not allow the erection of a dipole. The proper arrangement for a slant wire antenna is shown in (fig 2-2). Erect a slant wire antenna as follows: (1) Decide on the direction that transmission is required and determine the alignment of the antenna.

2-5.

Antenna Assembly

Warning. During installation of this equipment, conform to all safety requirements in TB SIG 291. Injury or DEATH could result from failure to comply with safety practices. WARNING. AVOID RF BURNS. Do not touch the antenna when the radio set is being tuned or transmitting. Caution. Do not use the whip antenna at 3.5 MHz or below. a. Whip Antenna. The whip antenna (fig. 1-3) is the least effective of the three antennas supplied with the radio set; however, it may be erected quickly and requires no support. Connect the whip antenna as follows: (1) Place the radio set in as high and cle ar a location as circumstances permit. Note. The whip antenna is mounted on a swivel to permit the operator to place the radio set flat on the ground and swivel the antenna into the upright position. Under combat conditions, this permits the operator to use the radio set from a prone position. (2) Attach the whip mounting bracket (Mounting MT-3613/PRC-74) to the side of the radio Act set Shown in (fig 1-3). (3) Assemble the whip antenna. Note. The antenna sections are connected internally by a wire cable that is under tension. When the antenna sections are set in line, the individual sections will automatically snap into place.

(2) Unwind one of the dipole antenna reels to the length specified in the antenna length chart below. (3) Fasten the antenna wire to the notch on the reel and lay the reel about 20 feet from the antenna support. Position the radio set at the end of the antenna and insert the red plug of the antenna wire into the ANT (red) terminal of the radio set. (4) Insert the black plug of the remaining antenna reel into the GND (black) terminal. Unwind this wire and lay it on the ground in line with the antenna and in the opposite direction of the antenna support. Unwind the reel until it is about 11/2 times the antenna length and place the reel on Antenna length chart (each leg).

preference to either the whip or slant wire antenna. A dipole antenna is usually erected between two supports as shown in figure 2-4. Antenna supports are not provided with this equipment and it is not always possible to find two supports that are properly oriented and spaced. If only one support is available, or if terrain prohibits, a one-support dipole (figs. 2-5 and 2-6) should be used. Note that for both the dipole and slant wire antennas, the most effective receiving and transmitting direction is broadside, or 90to the line of the wire. Erect a dipole antenna as follows: (1) Attach each dipole antenna wire to the dipole fixture (fig. 2-7).

(2) Determine the length of each leg of the dipole from the antenna length chart para b (2) above

(3)

Insert either lead of the feedline to the ANT (red) terminal and the other to the GRD (black) terminal on the rt unit front panel.

(4) If two antenna supports are available, erect the antenna as illustrated in (fig 2-4 ). If only one support is available, use the method shown in (fig 2-5 or 2-6). (5) Tune the rt unit as described in para 3-2 and 3-3.

3-2. Receiver Tuning
Connect the rt unit to a suitable power source (para 2-3) and use the following procedure to tune the radio set for receive mode: a. Connect an antenna to the rt unit (para 25). b. If a vehicular power supply or commercial power source is used (para 2-3), place the POWER ON switch on the PP-4515/PRC74 to ON. Set the METER switch to RADIO VOLTS and check to see that the meter reading is 14 volts +3. If the battery pack is used, omit this step. c. Plug the headset into either of the AUDIO jacks on the rt unit. d Set the four frequency selector knobs to the desired frequency. e. When using the whip antenna, check the antenna load coil for proper frequency range setting. f. Turn the OFF-ON-TUNE switch to ON. g. Set the R.F. GAIN control to maximum and adjust it so that noise is heard in the headset. h. Rotate the PEAK NOISE knob until a definite noticeable increase in noise is heard in the headset; then adjust it carefully for maximum noise in the headset. i If the radio set is to be used for receive mode only, set the ANT TUNE control to mid range and ANT LOAD control for maximum noise in the headset (otherwise these knobs are adjusted in the transmit tune procedure). j. Push in the PUSH TO CALIBRATE knob and adjust it for a zero beat condition in the headset. Release the knob; then reset the pointer to midscale. k. Set the R.F. GAIN control to the desired audio volume of the received signal. l. When receiving voice signals, it may be necessary to adjust the CLARIFY knob so that the quality is natural. Do not push the knob in when making this adjustment.

3-3. Transmitting Tuning

Use the following procedure to tune the radio set for transmit mode.

WARNING
AVOID RF BURNS. Do not touch the antenna when the radio set is being tuned or transmitting.

CAUTION
Do not attempt to tune the radio set without a suitable antenna connected. Remember that during tuning, the radio set transmits a signal and therefore breaks radio silence.

CAUTION
Do not use whip antenna at 3.5 MHz or below. a. Perform the receiver tuning procedure (para 3-2). After the receiver tuning procedure has been completed, do not make further adjustments to the PEAK NOISE control.

With right hand, adjust the ANT TUNE knob midway between the stops. Adjust ANT LOAD knob until maximum reading is obtained on the ANT.IND. meter. Adjust ANT TUNE knob until a maximum reading is obtained on the ANT.IND, meter. Release the OFF-ON-TUNE knob. The knob should return to the ON position. d. If voice operation is to be used, insert the microphone connector into either of the AUDIO jacks. To transmit, press microphone button and speak directly into the microphone. Hold the microphone one-fourth inch from the lips. When the radio set is transmitting voice, a voice sidetone should be heard in the headset. Releasing the microphone button returns the set to the receiver mode. e. If telegraph operation is to be used, insert the telegraph key connector into one of the AUDIO jacks. To transmit, begin sending the message with the telegraph key. The radio set automatically goes into transmit mode as soon as the key is depressed, and stays in the transmit mode for 2 seconds after the key has been released. The keyed signal may be monitored by the keyed sidetone heard in the headset. a. Encode Magazine, Recording Tape MA-9/ GRA-71 (CA-3B cartridge), using one of the coders supplied with the AN/GRA-71 (TM 115835-224-12). b. Insert the CA-3B cartridge into Keyer KY468/GRA-71 (KE-8B keyer). c. Connect the KE-8B keyer to the AN/PRC74B through the special purpose cable as specified in para 2-3d. d. Tune the AN/PRC-74B as specified in para 3-2 and 3-3. e. On the KE-8B keyer, set the IDY switch to on. The length of time that the IDY switch is left on is pre-determined by local operating procedures. (Setting the IDY switch on causes the transmission of Morse code dots at a 300 words per-minute (wpm) rate. ) f. Turn the IDY switch off and set the OFFON switch on the KE-8B keyer to ON. The encoded message will be transmitted automatically. Note. When the AN/GRA-71 is used with the AN/ PRC-74B, Adapter, Keyer MX-4498/GRA-71 is not used. The output of the KE-8B keyer is applied direct to the AN/PRC-74B through Cable Assembly, Special Purpose, Electrical CX-10239/PRC-74 (fig. 1-7).

3-7. HF Communications in the 2-18 MHz Range

Effective HF communications in the 2 18 MHz range can be accomplished up to several miles with a ground wave propagation mode, and several hundred miles with the skywave propagation. a. Antenna Selection. Regardless of the propagation mode used, the best possible antenna should always be erected, consistent with the particular time, space, and terrain operating environment. The Accessories Bag CW-63/ PRC74 contains materials to permit the erection of any one of the following antennas, which are listed in order of decreasing efficiency: (1) One-half wave dipole antenna (para 2-5c.). (2) One-quarter wave slant wire antenna (para 2-5b.). Caution. Do not use the whip antenna at 3.5 MHz or below.

located on the front panel of the battery charger. The charging rate is indicated on the panel meter of the external power supply. A completely discharged wet cell battery should receive 20 ampere-hours of charge. The suggested charge rate is 5 amperes for a 4-hour period. For complete maintenance instructions for the wet cell battery, refer to (para 5-12). Caution. The battery electrolyte level should be checked only when the battery is fully charged. Add only enough distilled water to cover the plates. If distilled water is added to a discharged battery, the electrolyte will leak out of the vent during charging. Warning. The battery electrolyte is extremely dangerous to the eyes. If electrolyte is splashed on person or clothing, quickly and thoroughly wash the exposed area with water for at least 15 minutes. Seek medical attention without delay. f. To check the battery voltage under a No load condition, place the METER switch to BATTERY VOLTS and the CHARGER ON switch to OFF, and note the reading on the panel meter.

(3) Ten-foot whip antenna (para 2-5a.). b. Groundwave Propagation. The primary coverage area in the groundwave mode is small, due to high attenuation of the groundwave in the HF band. The attenuation decreases as the frequency used is decreased. At the minimum AN/PRC-74 frequency of 2 MHz, the effective groundwave range with a one half wave dipole antenna is 5 miles. The groundwave range will be less as the frequency used increases, when a less efficient antenna is used, or when the radio is used in dense foliage. c. Skywave Propagation. Skywave propagation is the most useful communications mode. Since the transmitted signal is directly reflected off the ionosphere, effective communication requires selecting the optimum frequency compatible with the ionosphere conditions. The ionosphere varies depending on latitude, season, time of day, and solar activity. d. Frequency Selection. (1) An effective operating frequency is selected considering the ionospheric conditions

Change 4 3-4.1

TM 11-5820-590-12-1
and the required distance of communication. The frequency range for effective skywave propagation is limited on the high end by signal penetration of the ionosphere, and on the low end by excessive ionospheric absorption of the signal. (2) The maximum usable frequency (MUF) is the highest frequency which will be reflected off the ionosphere. The lowest usable frequency (LUF) is the lowest frequency at which the reflected signal is strong enough for effective communication. Since low frequencies under-go higher absorption than higher frequencies, an optimum traffic frequency (FOT) is selected just below the MUF. It is important to operate the AN/PRC-74, a low power transmitter, as close to the FOT as possible. During atmospheric disturbances, in general the higher the frequency, the better the communications will be. (3) The use of propagation charts in selecting operating frequencies is essential. Propagation charts are issued monthly by the Communications Engineering Directorate, U.S. Army Strategic Communications Command, Fort Huachuca, Arizona.

WARNING
If the battery compartment becomes hot to the touch, if you hear a hissing sound (i.e., battery venting), or smell irritating sulfur dioxide gas IMMEDIATELY Turn Off the equipment. Remove the equipment to a well ventilated area or leave the area.

WARNING
DO NOT use a Halon type fire extinguisher on a lithium battery fire.

WARNING
In the event of a fire, near a lithium battery(ies), rapid cooling of the battery(ies) is important. Use a carbon dioxide (CO2) extinguisher. Control of the equipment fire, and cooling, may prevent the battery from venting and potentially exposing lithium metal. In the event that lithium metal becomes involved in fire, the use of a graphite based Class D fire extinguisher is recommended, such as Lith-X or MET-L-X. a. Allow the equipment to cool at least 1 hour. b. Remove and replace battery after the equipment has cooled to the touch. c. If there is a safety incident, or if you believe a safety hazard exists, notify your local Safety Office/Officer, file a Quality Deficiency Report, SF Form 368, and notify the CECOM Safety Office, Ft.
