I saw the $700 specials on Ebay...second lot of them I've seen come up...but no, there was a guy who had a bunch of the DRS MTS II units brand new who started off at $200 and went all the way down to $40 at one point...which was too good a deal to pass up. I should've bought a couple. Anyway...

Anyone have any wiring info/ cabling info/ manuals etc. for the DRS Technologies MTS II system? One of the FMTVs at work had the power supply box still wired in, and I picked up some cables from Austin, but...none of it seems to go together so I'm still missing something. I managed to get a...

I cannot believe B-1Bs are mothballed already. Wow. And great pics. Thanks for sharing.

There are a lot of bad ones out there. When I get them now I lightly lubricate all the tuning apparatus etc. before I try them, and you have to follow the tuning instructions and various 'DO NOT' -type instructions exactly or things break. They're kind of fun to have sitting at some event...

MRC-107 and MRC-108 were also recycled for use in some of the first Humvees, believe it or not, by cutting down the pallet so it would fit in the Humvee. Meanwhile, some units still possessing nothing but M151A2s were getting issued new GRC-206 racks, so you had brand new radios in ancient...

I started to plan out the install for a GRC-106 setup in mine - but once I put the radio there to see what it would look like - sitting in the driver's seat made it pretty apparent that if I got rear-ended the back of my skull was going straight into the nasty corner on the top of the 106. That...

Sure. Can only try. I'll see if I can find the NSNs of the bits I need out of the 24Ps as that's probably the place to start.

Ah, sorry...didn't know anyone had replied. One complication with that route is the M109 belongs to a small Canadian museum, so I doubt TACOM would be too willing to assist because of that. Unfortunately everything got melted down at the scrap contractors before the needed bits and pieces...

Anyone know any scrapyards etc. that may have some M109A4 stuff kicking around? Need some minor bits for the museum's M109A4 (details in the Classified/ Parts Wanted section) and have pretty much exhausted every route I could think of.

Anyone know what the weight of a Huey tailboom by itself is?

EUCs...on 900 series?? Just got a notice from GovPlanet saying that a whole bunch of M923s we purchased at work 2 years ago have now had their Demil code changed from A to B/Q, and as such we're supposed to submit EUCs for all of them. 2 years after the fact. Anyone else affected by...

White smoke means you're getting fuel - it's just not burning because the combustion chamber temps are too low, so your glow plugs probably aren't doing anything - or a good percentage of them aren't doing anything. Because the Army introduced so many different combinations of GPC/ Temp Sensor...

Was kind of hoping USMC would sell some more like the ones Mike Murphy had - but something tells me the DoD "shred everything" diktat finally forced the Corps to toe the line alongside the Army, which meant no more unilateral sales of that stuff by USMC to dealers. Too bad, really - because...

Mike Murphy has the add-on tone adapters for them, but if you're clever, you can dial out using the hookswitch :) Takes a bit of practice. They sound quite nice hooked up to residential POTS lines. The only difference between the 43 and the 312 is the extra panel-mounted connector for hookup...

Bizarre. If every outstation is doing the same thing, the AM-1780 is probably bad - though it's odd that the CDR station PTT works. When you took the headsets/ mic harnesses from the outstations and tried them on the CDR station - did you take the whole works including the Y cord - or just the...

RT-1444 was really only used with the GRC-206 FAC/ TACP setup along with the AM-7148 amp etc., and there's an ALE version as well made for some foreign government (Mike Murphy had some, but I think they're all gone.) There was also a frequency-hopping controller. Lots of great info on Brooke...

What seems to cook the OEM ones is everyone's (GovPlanet among them) bad habit of just slave-starting vehicles fitted with absolutely ancient, frozen, worthless batteries - older and deader than the Pharoahs - and letting the alternator sit there going full bore trying to charge the...

From what I remember, they were designed initially to a USMC specification but rejected (ed. just checking a lawsuit now - seems originally the spec was Army, but Gould Defense tried to revamp them for a Navy requirement.) They show up on Ebay from time-to-time but all are missing one component...

AN/PRC-138s are really nice and the most modern thing to escape the crusher in miniscule quantities (you can get them in the older OD paint or the newer CARC green), but...haven't seen any for sale for probably 3 years, and when they show up, just the basic packset R/T is north of $5000. Then...

Ensuring you have good batteries is important because as the available voltage decreases, whatever's being driven by the batteries starts to draw more current. With the old, original PCB boxes (silver label Prestolites etc.), the extra current drawn across copper relay contacts wouldn't matter...
