    Slight background tone or hum on transmit?

    I tested my RT-524 yesterday on 52.25Mhz with the owner of my local NAPA store who has a radio in his Jeep. We didnt have time to set up a long distance test so he was on one side of the building and I was only about 200 feet away on the other side of the building in a downtown location. Just...

    MEP-016-C question

    I'm aware that idling these generators can cause failure of the voltage regulators. I have one of Kenny's old ones and was tinkering with it this AM. I got about a 1 or 2 second run out of it with starting fluid with the gas shut off. I didn't want it to keep running until I had the answer to...

    Grommet Check

    Pulled my passenger seat yesterday and noticed that the grommets that go in the punched out holes in the cab floor for the cables to the slave connector had no rubber left in them. They appear to be a combination metal/rubber insert but all the rubber had rotted. No serious chafe yet but long...

    My friend Jim was driving his M135 with REB kit today and had been about 20-25 miles already when it suddenly decided not to go into 3rd or 4th so he went the rest of the way home in 2nd.

Took one adjustment to the formula to get a color that was a good match. Problem was I...

    Sub-galleries in Photo Gallery??

    Any possibility of dividing the Photo Gallery into smaller galleries based on vehicle type and a misc. section. Even with DSL loading 190 items is time consuming, can't imagine what it is like for the dialup guys :cry: BC

    Tire sizes

    Tire size questions keep coming up and up and up and up..............., perhaps enough so that a sub-category under each vehicle section might be of some benefit and then when the key ?'s are answered a sticky or something with max. sizes, height, width, offsets, backsets,hubs flipped, hubs not...
