On GL (not GP) each item that required an EUC was clearly marked before you bid, usually with a red icon to that effect.

We'll need a lot more density if we try to do it on Technician's tickets. Upgrade to General and we could use HF, perhaps with NVIS antennas to have nets of several hundred miles. 2M on an HT is going to be limited to about 20 miles, mobiles and base stations can reach farther because of higher...

Jonathan, I've had mine about six months, no problems yet. If you get the ARRL book and read it, you may find that you are ready now. Be sure to look for all local clubs in your area to find the VE exams. ARRL site does not always show every exam schedule, as 'willfreeman' found - he was...

They work! You can program them as easily as the higher end models. With a mag mount antenna, I sound as good as a base station when transmitting and have no trouble hitting all the area repeaters (within 25 miles or so) Lima Charlie. I have three of them, with most of the accessories...

They lost the contract for military vehicles, and the gotta sell something to stay in business. Network international I think is another of their family of companies. The JEMCO problem sounds like a malformed URL.

wired incorrectly. search the threads for the wiring diagram.

Eric's surplus in Cali has them in stock, or did last time I looked.

Probably the one on the steering column. That's where the mechanical contacts are.

We use a 4" PVC wye/tee with a 2" side input as a handle and a cap on the top. Tap in the middle of the cap and it seats evenly all the way around. YMMV.

FSS is Federal Supply Standard, anyone who wants to sell paint to the Federal Government must be able to mix to that standard. When the paint mixing machine changes from one supplier to another, guess what? Yep, the FSS codes are in the new machines, and they are the same!!! The specifics of...

Joe, I'll have the Baofeng hooked to a mag mount antenna sitting on the front hood of my deuce. Most of the civilian radios are not going to be 24v so you need to figure the power part in your equation. I'll be running on the HT battery coming in.

Before you get all 'fired up' (pun intended), better look into the Georgia Regulations on open fires. Anything larger than a small cooking fire has to have a permit, approved 30 days in advance. You want a bonfire, get your paperwork in first!

It means they sent it to DLA in Battle Creek, MI. Once it gets there, government employees handle it. If you have had recent EUC's go through, they have a file on you. If the file is recent enough (I think 90 days), they go ahead and approve your most recent EUC. When it's over their time...

May 23-24 will be another Lone Survivor Benefit out at Crystal Beach. I'll be flying in to help out with the cooking on the MKT's that weekend.

Get TM11-289 and find an 'elmer' that has dealt with tube radios. That should fix things up!

See if it will mix with water. If so, it's probably a commercial version of 'slime' tire lube. I remember when we had the 10K forklift tires changed they had a five gallon bucket of what I thought was heavy wheel bearing grease being used to get the tires on the rims and sealed up. YMMV.

That's really straying!

Matt, You need to find someone who can work on tube-type radios, probably on QRZ or other HAM venues. And, have the -10 through -50 manuals (they were not called that back then) on the radio to get it worked on. It could be as simple as a deteriorated capacitor or a bad tube. Just as a search...

Yes, save them! There are collectors looking for such items (not necessarily on these forums) and as those trucks become rarer, collecting the dataplates might be the only link to them, at least locally.

Where in NC? John (EMD567) is going the I-77 route more than likely and if someone could get it to him along the way, it might be possible.
