AN/VRC-90. This is a long-range, vehicular mounted radio set. It contains a power amplifier which uses a mount adapter to interface and support the RT. The power amplifier provides about 50 watts of RF power during transmission which boosts the radio's range. See Figure 4-9.

AN/VRC-89, AN/VRC-91, and AN/VRC-92. These radio sets have two RTs. This enables the operator to monitor two different nets at once, or act as a retransmission station. The AN/VRC-89 and AN/VRC-91 sets have two RTs and one power amplifier which makes one radio long- range and the other short range. The AN/VRC-91 includes a battery case, whip antenna, and backpack shelf which gives it dismounting capability. The AN/VRC-92 has two power amplifiers which boost the transmit power of its RTs. See Figure 4-10.
