Hi guys!

Creating a review for ET model's Modern antenna & IED devices but have no clue what this device is named, is it some kind of radio?:


And this device? some anti IED thing? it will be on my M1070 truck:





I bet you guys know more about this

Thanks in advance!

The antenna in the top picture looks like a ABP-ANT-55 High Gain SATCOM antenna :



The radio set looks like a Harris AN/PRC-150 :



IIRC, the other device is the antenna of an improved variant of the DUKE jammer...

HTH

Thanks Frenchy! you're a great help as usual! Do you happen to know the name of that antenna? or is it just an "improved version of the DUKE antenna"?

Thanks!

Haha ok, well big thanks anyway!
Is there any way you search those things online? on some website I dont know of? or is it just a lot of wisdom gained over time?
I would have no clue how to find the name of that "ABP-ANT-55 High Gain SATCOM antenna" and Harris radio if it wasn't for this forum...

Have a nice sunday!

Well, talking about the first antenna, similar devices have already been included in other AM sets and they had been identified as being high gain satcom antennas. So I've just done an image search for "high gain satcom antenna" using my old friend Google and looked for a matching item.. Harris radio sets are widely used by various armies, so it didn't take me long to find this one.

I think the box shaped antenna is part of the CREW Duke V2 system
