What is the maximum water resistance depth of the AN/PRC-153 radio?

The AN/PRC-153 radio is designed to be operational in various environmental conditions, including exposure to water. The specification for the maximum water resistance depth of this device is 3 meters. This means that the AN/PRC-153 can be submerged up to this depth without suffering damage or loss of functionality, which is important for tactical communications where devices may be exposed to wet conditions. This water resistance is a critical feature for military applications, ensuring that the equipment remains reliable even in adverse weather or accidental submersion scenarios, thus allowing personnel to maintain effective communication under challenging circumstances. The other depths listed do not meet the criteria set for this specific radio’s design and capabilities.
