Canadian/British Armed Forces PPR H4855 Selex Radio

Communications Assembly Tested & Functional 

The H-4855 is a short range Personal Role Radio (PRR) developed by Selex Communications in the UK in 1999 and introduced for world-wide military use in 2002. The radio is used by Special Forces (SF), reconnaissance squads and infantry sections for direct tactical soldier-to-soldier communication. Although the radios are not protected by means of voice encryption, they are classed as LPI (Low Probability of Intercept) and LPD (Lower Probability of Detection) devices. In the US, the H-4855 PRR is known as AN/PRC-343 2 and as Integrated Intra-Squad Radio (IISR).

The radio operates in the 2.4 GHz band and uses spread spectrum technology. It weights 1.5 kg and is powered by two 1.5V AA-size penlight batteries, allowing 20 hours of continuous use.

Being a low-power device it has a range of just 500 metres, but works well through the thick walls of a building. The PRR is used by all British Forces, some US forces and even by UN peace keeping forces. The device is typically issued to every member of an eight-person infantry section. A separate wireless Push-To-Talk (PTT) unit with a 2m range is available as an option.

Includes:

• 1x Headset

The overall condition is good used with visible sign of it being moderately used and kept, some minor stain by the well of the battery compartment and the headphone connector that are hardly visible unless up close and personal
