I have a tremendous amount of vintage ARC-5, ART-13, BC-348, BC-610, BC-611 etc... And many accessories and other communications equipment in my warehouse of vintage electronics. GRC-109 Special Forces Radio Set. Much has been written and reviewed about these special forces sets. This one is in very good physical condition. Has not been powered up in years. All 3 are complete inside as well. I hope you can get these on the air. This is a rarer then most set with an unknown working condition and should be checked by a qualified person before power and use. Hard to find all 3 pieces offered together in one set. The GRC-109 started production about 1961. Compared to the RS-1, GRC-109 units have more date-coded components, and more documentation is available to support those dates. GRC-109A units have a 1969 contract date on the ID plate. In late 1961, the CIA organized a number of 12-man Special Forces teams to work with. Tribesmen, and used the RS-1 for communications.

Meanwhile, the Army's chief signal officer arranged for the RS-1 to be adopted for military use and renamed the GRC-109. Even though the Army had many RS-1 sets in use already, giving it an Army identifier would have simplified logistics. By late 1962, the Special Forces team network had 24 stations.

The GRC-109 set in each "A detachment" SF camp was kept in a sandbagged bunker, with several antennas installed. The antennas were a target of Viet Cong raids, but for emergencies, they found that a. Buried 18 underground in bamboo pipes could be used.

The GRC-109 became a standard issue radio to all combat units in forward areas after 1965. It was included in the inventory of all fire bases, and was at least used as a backup radio. Even though Special Forces had access to the latest high-tech radios, by the mid-1970's many units had adopted the GRC-109 as their primary long-range radio. It was rugged, reliable, and maintainable in the field, and offered several power supply options.

The newer radios tended to require specialized batteries which were often not available in the field.
