Included Items & Ops Systems of the PRC-152 review by BucketHead on 4/21/2014
This is a very good radio for the money. We were pleasantly surprised with how well it works, how strong it is in the field when in rain, fording creeks, going through mud and slime, cold weather, hot weather, it doesn't matter, the TRI PRC-152 came through everything we threw at it and came out a solid winner!! We bought two for our initial field testing, since they came through so well we will be back for more soon!! Out of the original tests we put the radio through the only thing I wouldn't go with five stars is the battery. It seems to be a real issue battery and is in all but one area, CHARGING!! If you would provide a purchase option of buying a real issue battery with the issue charger, it would be a lot better received. We are considering purchasing an issue battery and charger to see how it works. The manual doesn't address this issue so we're shooting in the dark!! One other item that isn't addressed, is the mic and speaker connector on the right side of the radio work or is it just for show?? If for show only can it be made to work?? Either way it would be very nice to address that in your manual!! It would be nice to have a cover for it either way!! Is there anywhere that we can buy parts such as the cover I mentioned, batteries, etc.?? Is there anywhere to purchase software to make programming easier?? The thought of doing all the programming through the keypad is VERY off-putting!! Software and a cable setup that would let the operators to hook up, get the latest updates installed in seconds and move on to more pressing matters is certainly a selling point!! We bought two "United Star" PRC-148 radios for testing right after we bought yours to see which would be the best fit for us. The TRI-PRC-152 radios are the best for us at this time. The 148s have programming software and cables, cables for "cloning" radio to radio, the exact same rubber antenna as the 152, a "gooseneck" base and folding long antenna in broadband frequencies, an antenna extension cable, and Molle clamps for antenna cable routing, a VERY nice package indeed!! I have to say that their package is quite a bit ahead of yours and it saves the end user quite a bit of money!! We are, as of this time, going with the TRI PRC-152 radios. The main reason is the quality of your product. It's built better, has more internal systems, it just has more going for it!! Sincerely, BH
