The AB-15 is simple. Two ceramic insulators, top and bottom. Insert top insulator with threaded antenna spring assembly (rubber covered) down through the mount hole. Rubber insulator goes under this insulator to seal on top of mount. If you have the large star washer with coaxial connector...

Would help if you have a model number for the antenna, mount, etc. Pictures? As soon as that's known you will get lots of help. Bob WB4ETT

Check with these places for a windshield: http://vonsmog.com/ http://www.mercedes4x4store.com/ http://www.expedition-imports.com or search "unimog windshield". There are enough of the 'mogs around now that parts show up in odd places. Bob

A tee would not work if a transmitter (CB) is one of the devices attached. The other radio on the tee would be zapped, plus, attaching any second device to the antenna would upset the impedance for the transmitter match. Two receivers could probably be used on the same antenna but would...

Here's a picture of my 1965 Unimog at the Sevierville, TN, Aircraft Museum and Air Show last weekend. Our local Knoxville Military Vehicle Club, KMVC, participated. Radios on board included: - Original SEM 35 German VHF transceiver on vehicle mount (on front radio bench) with Antenna...

The brighter the sun, the faster the blink. Fast blink looks like continuous on.

Me, WB4ETT. Staying at the KOA in Dayton.

What kind of radio is that you are taking out? Got a picture? Thanks

The problem with receiving on one receiver while transmitting in a band on another transmitter-receiver is that the receiver front end will be overloaded even if it's on a different frequency. That's why the receiver in the transmitter-receiver is turned off for transmit. For example, a...

You may have found yourself a gem! With an air cooled engine the main cause of engine problems if sitting a long time, water seepage, is not an issue. Those trucks can and have often sat for years at a time. There's one thing to be aware of with the early Pinzgauers, and that is 'exec' level...

Sounds like a great trip with a truck bed for a bonus! No need to explain why you did that trip, most of us understand. ROAD TRIP!!! BTW, I'm not impressed by the Varsity either. Bob

If you would PM me with your schedule for the next Maryville trip, and if you have time, my wife and I would enjoy meeting up and buying lunch/supper. We're a few miles SW of Maryville. Bob & Kitty

I put one on my Unimog/camper after almost backing into a soccer mom in a McDonalds. She came screaming through the parking lot at about 40 and never slowed even though she could hardly have missed the big red truck backing out of a parking space. Mine is a Brigade. It's the wired type (no...

Do a search on AB15 (note: inexplicably, searching for AB-15 fails, no results). Lots of threads about antennas and the AB-15 specifically. The base looks like this: https://www.fairradio.com/catalog.php?mode=viewitem&item=3132 The mast sections start with the MS-116...

Was there a charger connected to the battery?

Hi Butch, You seem to have a really good handle on chasing the problem. The final goal is to get the air out, of course. I think you said you can circulate fuel all the way back to your jerry can by pumping the primer pump. You may be on the right track by looking at the fuel shutoff...

You have a perfect candidate to convert to a Jerry Can Toolbox (Google it). That way you get to keep it and use it. There's a thread here on SS but I can't find it.

Hi Butch, First, I don't have a SEE or a manual for a SEE [edit, see below]. Some things have changed from the basic 406 model (with which I am familiar). Many Unimogs sat for decades with little use. Most will start and run without tearing down the IP even if the Diesel has turned to...

That's really good information and a useful modification! Thanks! That antenna design uses a bazooka, or sleeve, type match/balun. It'd be interesting to know if the lower end of the stripped-back braid on your antenna is bonded to the outer braid of the coax as in a true bazooka. Here's...

Here is a summary of tests a Ham ran on 10meters (CB is 11m, close) and 6 meters: http://digitalcartography.com/n0eq/AS3900.htm Use on CB band doesn't look very promising. I'll summarize, but this info is already available on this forum in other threads. Search on AS-3900. The AS-3900 was...
