nf6x is correct - you'll see a metal can inside the speaker with four terminals: two go to the speaker; two go to the cord leading to the plug. All you're interested in is the speaker, so solder a suitable cord right to the speaker terminals and to your CB (just make sure you provide some...

Lol...later replies took care of it. They didn't load the first time around but...oh well.

What's happened there is that the shorting plug is still in place for when you use it as a packset, but the top part of the shorting plug has unscrewed, leaving you looking at the wiring *inside* the shorting plug. The caps like to unscrew and fall off, and sometimes people take them off...

Yup. LSSV. The Canadians use a version of it called MILCOTS which just stands for 'Military/ Commercial-Off-The-Shelf'. The Brits training up there in Suffield also use a version of it for OPFOR and general stuff and call it a 'TSV' for 'Training Support Vehicle'. Duramax diesel, expensive...

I wonder if a magmount with the cable run through the passenger side window constitutes an antenna 'dependent on the vehicle' as it's no more permanently mounted than your handheld scanner would be. That Florida law really does seem ridiculous and largely unenforceable. If the object is to...

To the original poster...spend all your time looking at the body. Get dirty...crawl underneath...dont be afraid to tap and poke and look with some REALLY good light. Be ultra suspicious of any new undercoating because it usually masks stuff the vendor doesn't want you to see. Pay attention to...

Bad link on my post up there. Try: http://www.rockwellcollins.com/~/media/Files/Unsecure/Products/Product%20Brochures/Navigation%20and%20Guidance/GPS%20Devices/MicroDAGR%20data%20sheet.aspx

Yeah, the PSN-8 I played with back in 1993 and this one both wouldn't get a fix irrespective of how long you left them looking at the sky unless you input a rough position via INIT. That yours eventually managed it is encouraging! It's fun comparing this to my Garmin 60CSX, lol...

Right. But it says that because in the factory state of the vehicle the glow plug system is operating when you try to cold start the vehicle, and when the ether comes into contact with the hot ends of your glow plugs it detonates and swells them. I've pulled many, many, many swollen glow plugs...

AN/PSN-8 First Military GPS - a set on Flickr Took some pics once I got it all sorted out. Found that Mike Murphy had NOS vehicle kits for it for a whopping $19, and bought a power supply also NOS on Ebay years ago for which just slides right on in the mount I got from Murphy! Just running...

Honestly, with all the low-miler takeouts out there in MV land...I just wouldn't bother with the broken piston problem at all and just use it for parts. Yes, just those two pistons were done in - but who knows if the remaining pistons have been weakened as well? Replacing two pistons might...

I've had to do it sometimes with CUCVs and HMMWVs I've just *had* to get running for emergency reasons, but always, always, always disable the glow plug systems first, and when you hit the spray button on the can it's *barely* a half second. On a CUCV you can pull the card under the dashboard...

Old thread, but while I was trying to scrape the scabbiest portions of the paint from an ancient deuce here at work, the paint came off in a sheet revealing nice, clean, FS24087 paint beneath and the painted-on marking in white, 'SIN LOI', which someone once told me is Vietnamese for 'Good...

Also, check your engine ground. One guy brought his 1985 HMMWV around with glow plug problems and I took a test light, clamped one end to one of the nuts retaining the PCB and the other to the engine block then turned the ignition to run. The light lit up - metal-to-metal...the light lit up...

I have: Most of a GRC-206 FAC Pallet PRC-113 LST-5 RT-246 2 X RT-524 2 X GRC-106 2 X MD-522 (and teletypes to make up the GRC-122 in shelter) 1 x EPLRS (demilled, sadly) 2 x KY-57 (demil) 2 x complete British/Canadian C42 sets plus RRB control boxes plus a bunch of transceivers/ power supplies...

Yup. Guarantee it's the same vendor trying his luck on the E-place vs. the swap meets. Guess he was having a bad day when he replied to me like that as we've since come to a deal and it's on its way. Now I just need the AN/PSN-9 and I'll have just about the whole "Evolution of Military GPS"...

Brooke Clarke over at PRC68.com makes some _d-amn_ fine adapters for the type of battery this thing takes (same as PRC-104, PRC-113, SINCGARS, some PSYOPS loudspeaker systems etc.) and it's always good to support others in the hobby when you can. Surplus Lithium batteries also show up on Ebay...

Haha. Nope. You should've told me who the seller was and I could've saved us all some time and trouble. Love the reply I just got from the fellow: "WHY WOULD I PUT A BUY IT NOW FOR LESS MONEY THAN THE STARTING BID? I CAT BETTER OFFERS A T THE SWAP MEST THAN THAT. MAYBE IT'S TIME TO SCRAP IT...

So I guess the seller or the GPS thing weren't there?

Haha...yes...it's the JTRS curse alright. If two people in the boardroom can get something hashed out and accomplished then surely 82 in the same boardroom will get it accomplished even faster! No wonder stuff enters the supply chain just in time for its own obsolescence...
