Has anyone had and luck using the RA5000/6400 Racal headsets that are coming available now on their military radios? I have friends that are using them successfully with VIC-3 intercoms but I'm not having much luck using them with either the 524 or the 1439.

Does anyone on the list have any schematics for the PRC-117D and it's associate mount/amplifier? Specifically I need the wiring table for the 19 pin cable that connects the AM-7257B vehicular mounting base to the AM-7256A amplifier. Thanks in advance for any information you might have. Kurt...

I was hobbling around (torn meniscus) at the flea market here in San Jose this morning and came across 2 almost mint (for 70 year old radios) Hallicrafters Morale Radios. One is a Sky Courier and the other is an R100. Both are crinkle finish OD and have obviously been taken care of since the...

On my last outing the turn signal flasher died in the middle of the Veterans Day parade. I didn't have another one on the shelf so I went looking for a solution. What I found was a 12-24v flasher unit from Grote (44010) that will work with both regular lamps and LED lights up to 12 amps which...
