What is the maximum transmission range of the AN/PRC-152 radio in a vehicle configuration?

The maximum transmission range of the AN/PRC-152 radio in a vehicle configuration is typically considered to be between 10 to 12 kilometers. This range is influenced by various factors, including terrain, environmental conditions, and the power output of the radio system. In a vehicle configuration, the radio benefits from better antenna placement and elevation, which can enhance performance and range compared to handheld or man-pack configurations.

The given answer of 5 to 7 kilometers does not align with the typical specifications of the AN/PRC-152, which indicates a greater range, particularly in a vehicle setup where optimal conditions can be achieved. Other options provide ranges that exceed the capabilities of the radio system or suggest a misunderstanding of its operational parameters. Thus, while 5 to 7 kilometers may represent an effective range under challenging conditions or mobility limitations, it does not reflect the potential maximum range for the AN/PRC-152 equipped in a vehicle.
