Tactical military mobile radio VRC 4622, 30 to 80 MHz by Philips Magnavox


This is a very rare VRC-4622 tactical military radio made by Philips – Magnavox. It stems from the nineties and is still in use by military forces in many countries around the world today. It is intended for use in military vehicles like jeeps, large military trucks as well as tanks, for communication ranges up to 30 km (clicks) (mobile to mobile) or 60 clicks (mobile to base). The radio covers the military band 30 to 80 MHz in 25 kHz steps, so it also covers the 6 meter and 4 meter HAM bands without a problem. Modulation method is narrow band FM. The one you see in the video is NOS (New Old Stock), never used, it came from surplussed war reserve. The VRC-4622 radio gives off up to 45 watts RF power, depending on front panel RF power selection. The radio requires 22 to 32 V DC at 5 amps, but in the video I am using it with a 12V to 26V DC-DC converter which makes it possible to run the radio from standard 12V to 14V vehicle voltage as used in civilian cars.
