Operating a rare to find ex-Special Forces PRC-316 military radio

I got an opportunity to operate this fantastic ex-Special forces military radio, the PRC-316 (SR A16) is a small light-weight patrol transmitter and receiver set for use by Special Forces during the mid 1960's. The radio was built to use in challenging terrain such as tropical jungle environments.

The radio has a set of crystals in and can operate on 45 set frequencies using AM or CW.
