(Repeater Term) A condition experienced on VHF and above where a signal rapidly fluctuates in amplitude causing a sound akin to rubbing a stick on a picket fence. If a repeater user's signal isn't strong enough to maintain solid access to the machine's input (such as when operating from a vehicle passing beneath underpasses or through hilly terrain), the signal would be hard to copy because of a pronounced, rapid fluttery or choppy characteristic.

New digital modulation type, labelled as "APCO Project-25" P-25 pretty much is the same modulation that cell phones use. P-25 is supposed to give better voice quality, but there really is no differance. Plus I need to buy a new radio scanner now.

the PRC doesn't stand for anything.
the PRC-77 (and the improved PRC-770) are military VHF FM transcievers, that have been used sence 1960, and are slowly being phased out because the US Army likes them.
Frequency Coverage:
30.0000 to 76.0000 MHz
channel spacing:
50 kHz
channels:
920
Power Output:
5 watts
Range:
10 miles on a bad day
5 miles when the VC are shooting at you
30 miles when you get back to base
PRC-77s are used as manpack radios (straped to the back of GIs and used for unit-to-unit communications), if you've ever seen the movie "Platoon", the PRC-77 is the radio that all the Americans are carrying on thier backs.
or they are installed as radios in Humvees and tanks. (i.e. all the antennas on military viecles are connected to PRC-77s.
widly copied by every NATO member, so all the good guys can talk to each other.
