    Looking for a cheap radio to talk to RT524 from another vehcle or on foot.

    Seems all the options I've looked at are spendy, Isn't there any cheap portable or vehicle units that operate on at least one frequency that the RT524 uses? Legal would be nice. I only plan to use the radios running in convoy.

    I'm confused on tire sizes.

    I need several new tires for my 939A2 series, They are all 14Rx20. Can I use 395/85R 20? I don't understand what the numbers mean, I understand the 20inch being the rim diameter, but the difference between 14 and 395/85 what is that?

It will inflate to about 45-50 lbs then I get a blast of decompression from the PCU vent. Then all lights flash. Couldn't get...

Can I bypass the solenoid somehow and apply...

    Wondering what the ballpark is from UK or Eastern Europe to US east coast for say a 30,000 lb vehicle? I'm really getting the itch for some wheeled or tracked armor. The prices in the US are insane as far as I see.

    Was the RT246 problematic with the push buttons?

    I was watching a video on radio nerds on the VRC-12 series. I bought a RT524, but the RT246 looks really cool being able to preset 10 channels and press a button and have the radio dial the frequencies automatically. Was this problematic and why the military put a speaker in the panel instead of...

Or just do one side at a time leaving the opposite side still supported by the bracket or is it a non issue all together, just unbolt everything and install it? Couldn't find anything in the tm's about installing...

    I had my HMMWV into the shop for exhaust work about a month and a half ago. They told me I needed a new idler arm and pitman arm. So i ordered them, it's going back in tomorrow to replace these.
