US Army TA-312 PT Field Phone

The US Army TA-312/PT Field Phone has had more than 50 years of service since it was first fielded by the military. With little changed during this five decades of service, you appreciate the genius of the design to have met the needs of our modern war fighters for so many years. Now that the TA-312/PT has been retired, you can buy one of these military classics for your own collection or use.

What these field phones use is simple, they operate on two D-Cell batteries. You can connect two phones together using any copper wire, however should you use original WD-1/TT wire you will have an operating range of over 20 miles. There is no other directly connected field phone that is capable of delivering this level of performance using simple household batteries. Should you use standard copper wire, you will find the range is "significant" where you will run out of copper wire before you exhaust the TA-312/PT's capabilities.

Voice is transmitted and received when the push-to-talk button is pressed on the handset, ensuring that the TA-312/PT phone you purchase is functional and complete. As these phones are from the 1960s and were used by our military, the condition of the phone and canvas carry bag will vary from pictured. Some phones were overhauled in the 1980s and the data plate may reflect this.
