In military radio communications, the AN/PRC-127 (RT-1594) Radio is a handheld transceiver operating in the 136-160 MHz range used by the US Army to aid in provisioning services, and other non-combat uses. It is a software modified version of the civilian LPI series high band Bendix-King radio. The PRC-127 radio was initially manufactured in Lawrence, Kansas, USA from 1989 on by the Bendix-King Corporation, the updated Version PRC-127A from 1996 on by Bendix-King (now a division of Relm Wireless). The final version of this radio is the model AN/PRC-127EFJ, made by E.F. Johnson Technologies, which is a completely different radio.
