Get the LORANmug. 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.

Get the PRC-77mug. Code Division Multiple Access
A spread spectrum approach for the digital transmission of data/voice over radio frequencies. Sound bits are digitized and the data is split into data packets that are encoded with unique identification tags. All of the data/voice is sent over a spread range of radio frequencies. The cell phone or data device receives all of the data packets but only re-assembles those packets with the correct code and transforms the broken-up bits of data into useful sound and data. This allows more traffic for a finite number of available frequencies than analog or the other digital standards.
