A friend of mine just bought a "reconditioned blazer" from him, $6500. I am hoping to find a truck for less. I will call and find out how much. Thank you.
If I recall 2nd gear is called out for pto operation. A normal diesel gen set runs at 1800rpm, I would think that is what you should be looking for but I am not sure. If there is a frequency meter that would show 60cycles if the rpm is correct.
Has an A2 motor/steering wheel, but it is an A1 body which has had the front fenders replaced with A2 fenders, if you look close you should be able to see where they were welded on. Also looks like the battery box cover is missing.
You need a license to transmit with the radio, either commercial or ham or for official military/government use. Ham radio would use 50-54 MHz. The military has full use from 30-76/88 and has priority use.
You can see because the antenna was closer to ground(tied down) that the swr increased which is normal. Still seems a bit high but unless you have a ham license or such you will just be receiving(legally) anyway.
You can try, but there are alot of factors involved. Is it the correct antenna mast/base?, is the base grounded?, how close to another object is the antenna? etc. Without knowing the variables it's hard to give sound advise.
I am going to hold out for a green or camo one, don't care for the tan and don't enjoy painting/body work much. If I were closer they would make great parts trucks. Still looking, thanks for the great info.
I have the same test set. The reflected power is a factor of the antenna being tuned to the frequency selected, the more it's out of tune the more power reflected back to the radio which causes it to heat up and also loss of actual radiated power. The reflected power you have is about 25%, not...
