DO I have to enter the Letters on every post?
I have to listen to them, and then it still is not correct.

I just joined.
Was it just me, it took me 10 attempts to pass the catchpa. I listened to it in the end and the audio only reads out the first 4 letters, so mine was WRVM PH. I had to employ online Catchpa solver in Korea!.

Bit about me.
I'm a UK (GB) HAM since 1977 and like QRP/ELP radio especially LoRa / Meshtastic.
I'll share more details later.
If I can pass the CATCHPA on this page  EVWBAC

As we used to teach in survival classes:
1. Shelter ( clothing is your first layer of 'shelter'.
2. Water.
3. Fire. kitchen.

It's quite all right to open old threads with relevant questions. The group you are asking about must be answered by Gil.

You can find much information about that radio in this forum. Just use the Search button and enter < RT-320 > and search in all boards. I got about 35 hits, you might find something useful, and further links.

If you are on Facebook, there are two Clansman groups, one private and one public:

https://www.facebook.com/groups/3430377437041093/ [PRC-320 and Clansman Radios]

Yes!  The present reality is not a bad one, because of the thousands of memories of mountains, deserts and a little bit of salt water. Had I remained home, in front of a TV set when I was young, now I would indeed be bitter because of a wasted life.

A note to those still physically fit: Run, jump and dance while you are able and later you will thank yourself for not sitting comfortably at home.

Morse Code / Re: Written Message - Advantag...

Ha ha ha!  I like it, Sparks. 

That receiver looks like the type that would bring back memories. While I do enjoy the radio equipment that I own now, it does NOT produce the sort of affection as the older, -usually tube- equipment which I used a long time ago in the Army. Likely, this is even stronger for ship's R.O. and shore station operators. Oh, to know and to recall the many messages, needs and wants, sent via the old radios.

Sorry for digging up an ancient thread, but does this 320 group still exist?
I've just bought one and will be needing a little help along the way I think!

I recognize that. I am in similar circumstances. Still, we must keep up spirits and hope for good times ahead!

Thanks, a good laugh! What do you think about this one:

I recognize the Redifon R50M receiver, my main RX 1968-69, when I was a Merchant Marine Radio Officer.
