    Just bought a Sincgars 1523B...need some install help.

    I have a dozen of those as well for film work. All they were meant to do is take keyboard input and send it to a central computer in a school setting, then the central computer would return simulated audio and generate a display. Without the central computer hooked up to that thing you...

    Whats the best PRC radio for vehicle mounting.

    PRC-174 you mean? Heavy Tadiran-produced HF pack and vehicle set used by the Israelis but nobody else to my knowledge. Apparently built to withstand a fall from the top of Masada, but unless you're doing an IDF truck up - don't think it would be appropriate.

    radio question from newb

    The plain RT-1523 first-generation full-size transceiver will work with the crypto card pulled, and I've heard the B model will too...but the A definitely won't and I'm not sure about the C and D. The 'half-size' SINCGARS radios (RT-1523E through G) are turning up now for sale - only seen the...

    LOGSA access?

    What's been happening with LOGSA for awhile on Internet Explorer is that IE doesn't recognize the site certificate and gives you the Danger Invalid Site Certificate recommend-you-do-not-proceed screen. That's bad enough, but even clicking the 'Proceed Anyway' on IE *still* wouldn't get you to...

    FM radio/military antenna sharing

    AM/FM broadcast stations are strong enough that you can use a paperclip for an antenna on a car stereo if you wanted to, so for receiving...anything should work. People have used the auxiliary receiver antenna setup on the M151 series (AB-15 and copper whips) for car stereo antennas often in...

    Radio Shelf

    That come off the *dash* and have legs going to the floor? I have never seen anything like that. Any chance of a pic or two? They did some different things when they were set up for MSE, so maybe that's what it's all about.

    testing the PRC-25 and PRC-77 radios

    My first question is "How do you *know* your PRC-25 is working 100%?" If you're just using those two radios alone to do your testing, I'd be more inclined to believe there's a low transmit or off-freq output condition on the PRC-25 than a receiver problem on the PRC-77. If you know someone...

    power distro box in bed of cucv

    I think I have a TM for it in the back of one of my SINCGARS manuals. I'll have a look tomorrow if I get a minute.

    ? about a mount I saw in a CUCV

    Hey you mentioned 'computer system' in your HMMWV. Did you get one of the DRS Technologies RVS-330/ JV-5 FBCB2 setups that seem to have been released? I made one up using a CARC-painted Litton L3 police car computer and touchscreen and mounted it all to an FBCB2 rack from Austin, complete with...

    ? about a mount I saw in a CUCV

    Actually the AN/PSN-10 SLGR is an L1 only machine that doesn't use P-code at all as there's no provision for Fill. While there are two connectors for U-229 plugs on the side -- the first is power, and the second is DATA OUT available in either Trimpack or Transpack format. That's the reason...

    power distro box in bed of cucv

    That's the box that's usually bolted to the bottom of the M1008 rear-bed radio rack for power. Guesses are there's some cable that's supposed to go from there to the bulkhead 24V plug in the bed, but I've never seen one on the loose.

    Found XM 152 prototype

    That one's in great shape...still has the chorehorse bracket on the fender and what looks like the upper clip for the telescoping mast. Too bad someone's nicked the spare tire carrier but...that seems pretty common. Still has the blackout curtains inside too. Nice find. Those started out...

    Found XM 152 prototype

    The Canadian ones had a single rear door vs. the M43-style double doors. I've only seen two XM152s; one wreck, and one at one of the conventions one year in the 80s. Not since.

    Outstanding job! Looks better than the mil original!

    canadian five quarter

    Oddly, we inherited a few at work from the five-quads, but they're just the upholstered portions - complete military seat, bottom and back, NOS -- just no bases. In other words, if you have the base, the four bolts or whatever just come up through the bottom and into this seat. I'll see if I...

    Military trimble navigation trimpack unit

    Yeah, Brooke over at prc68.com did extensive testing (I've done a bunch too), and according to Brooke the Trimpack family needs a whopping 41db gain through the antenna, and the average Garmin etc. small ones (in addition to the RA-2 and AT-575s etc.) come in around 20. Some will also generate...

    Military trimble navigation trimpack unit

    No help here, I'm afraid. I had to do mine 'home-made' as well. Every one of those things I've ever seen terminates exactly like the one in 86HUMV's pic, and leaves you having to fabricate something to mount to the CUCV bracket, then bolt the SLGR bracket to it. Lots of bending and measuring...

    Military trimble navigation trimpack unit

    And I need the squarish one. PM me if you want to part with it. Last one I had looked as though it had been through an IED blast.

    Military trimble navigation trimpack unit

    Also unfortunately I don't have any pics of my setup but there are some floating around the web which are *exactly* like the setup I had. If I find them again I'll link them.

    Military trimble navigation trimpack unit

    That's the bracket he needs, definitely. The two antennas you have there won't work, however. The round one is the old PLGR antenna, and 99% sure that squarish antenna is the RA-2 for the newer DAGRs. The antenna needed for the Trimpacks/ SLGRs/ Centurions is at least double the size of...
