The PRC-10 was ruggedly built, and most versions were resistant to water and shock damage. It could be used for both voice and Morse code communications and was used extensively by U.S. military units in both Vietnam and Korea. It was also used by NATO forces and by various countries, including Israel, Pakistan, and Taiwan.
