I'm not familiar with the details of the PRC-77 (too new for me!) but I would
point out that all the 1950's and 60's US military FM units I've experiemented
with are designed for transmitting and receiving a "medium" bandwidth FM
signal. Commerical FM 88-108 MHz uses a wide FM signal +/- 75 kHz which would
probably sound real bad monitored on a narrow or medium bandwidth receiver.
Such may well be the case for the PRC-77.
