I think that cable is shorted or something, that shouldn't have affected that... One thing also that can cause that is if the xmode plug is loose, I've seen them unscrew apart and not maintain connection. Also if the jbox is connected, they have caused me problems in the past, although all...

I have a rather picky question, but I'd like to get to the bottom before I'm out in the middle of nowhere and there is a real problem... I'm quite lucky that my m37 which I've had under a year runs quite well. When we acquired it directly from the state, all that was required to get it running...

its nice to know the forums are diligently moderated! Thanks . . .

i built my cabinet from plywood, then added the vacuum and filtration... if you add a good vacuum you will get more productivity, and remember, many of the paints and stuff you blast off are very bad for your esp military stuff... I have two cabinets one large with Aluminum Oxide, and a smaller...

ok let me clarify...... are they scarce or readily available, is it best to make my own? is there a common source... im not selling, and im not asking to buy, just asking if they are available... much like asking hey who is the best parts source... which is asked many times here.. is that...

anyone got a source for the "doghouse" cover assembly that went over the VRC46, (RT524, R442) i think its a "SC-D-691342 Cuver support assembly" Chris

here's the doc i mentioned in my post above.. http://www.roscommonequipmentcenter.com/projects/rec2.pdf and http://www.roscommonequipmentcenter.com/news_notes/nn9.pdf

It will be perfect there and look great! Don't forget the ground clamp around the antanna connector to the base.. ( a worm clamp with ground strap on it bolted to the base, clamp is around the pl239 Connector adaptor)

If you make them 4-5 feet your fine.. Most military vehicles have standard locations, and jeeps and m37 have them on either side.. The only real concern is loading up The R442 with a high power RT524 too close on the same channel.. Some purist Zealots will start arguing about load affects...

thanks, this looks to be the best solution to the problem, this vhf radio pulls 27A at 12 volts, and 110 watts of RF. Its a hoss. the big one is the only choice, plus these things have a tendency to "grow".

I called around a bit the overwhelming advice is that if your doing occasional use of the 12volt stuff, your gonna be fine tagging one battery, if you intend to really use anything on 12v you need to get the 24->12volt reducer. to this point, my 12volt use has been limited since i havent yet...

There is a nice thread on this topic here --> http://www.steelsoldiers.com/deuce/50601-12-volt-radios-24-volt-m35a2-5.html Looks like lots of experience there in this... EDIT: found this product, looks quite good... http://www.okoffroad.com/stuff-voltage-reducer.htm

Yes still 24 volt, I'm hooked to the first battery in the series, the one *closest* to the ground connection (that's very important!).. You can get a 24-> 12 volt converter, but I'm not running one. You should switch the batteries every now and then because you will end up putting one...

UPDATE: Built the first real prototype today.. The two round things are transformers, i didnt have any smaller ones, ill wait for the Digikey order to come in... the black box in the middle is a relay, two variable resistors on either side are for TX and RX levels... The black cable goes to...

since the speaker is just a speaker, and your not gonna be using it with a mixed 12/24 volt setup, the transformers will be most useful to make sure impedances are correct. If its just a speaker and a mic, id probably just try to make an adaptor and just run it to the other radio... Well its...

I'm not looking at the ls-671 schematic nor have I ever played with the vic4, but here is my experience with the vic1. Based on the OPCOM schematic, there are no amplifiers in the circuit, and the audio levels from the radios (rt524 for example) are on a fixed level. Actually the radio outputs...

Link ---> http://www.steelsoldiers.com/m37/68328-vic-1-m37.html I don't want to cross post so let me drop a bump in here about this topic in the m37 forum. I'm integrating OPCOMs circuit in my m37 with a vic1 had very good success with many different radios. More details there.

Update: I built OPCOM little circuit as noted above, and it works great. Had to use some parts laying around to prototype it and just see if it worked as well as it looked. I was able to interface 3 different radios. (I mean I tried it with three different radios, to make sure it was fine...

Good on the winch, not sure about the bolt sizes, mine doesn't have one, helped on them some though. Dunno for sure.. Also if you get new data plates ( which are cheap) you can always have WW (with winch) instead of WOW (without winch) to fool the moderately educated. Anyone smart will do more...

1) on the frame rail behind the left front tire 2) usually the tire carrier on the drivers door, however these are also retrofitted on the earlier non-b1 models... additionally the NON-b1's usually had the tire in the bed. The data plate could also show, but ultimately the year and model...
