Does anybody on the forum have access to cables for the Harris radios like the PRC-138s?

Does anyone on the forum know where I might find a PRC-117D battery box? Any configuration will do as I want to turn it into a vehicle power adapter. Dead batteries, corroded, as long as the case is intact it'll work for my project. Thanks in advance

Looking to acquire a copy of the Harris Falcom software to try to get a PRC-138 going again. This one sat with a dead backup battery for years before I got it and even after replacing the battery it won't fire up. TIA, Kurt Lesser

I recently replaced the batteries in my M996A1 and after years of using Interstate 6TLs that only lasted about 28 months I decided to go with 24Fs. They are the same height and length as the 6TLs but a couple inches narrower so you can use your old battery hold down bracket with them. They...

I've worked on converting vehicles to LED lighting for some time now and something strange that keeps popping up is the bulb in the turn signal switch is hot on the case and grounded on the tip of the bulb. This is irrelevant to an incandescent lamp but puts reverse power on an LED and they...

I found this online tonight and thought I'd post the link for those of us less familiar with diesel engines like the GM 6.2L we're driving, or trying to! . It's geared for the civy model but there just might be a nugget in there somewhere...

I have a problem in my 996 ambulance that the green 3 point seat belts are barely long enough to fasten for an average size person and will not work for a large individual. The nylon section of the seat belt is 100" when extended, this does not include any of the mounting hardware, only the...

Looking for a part number or a source for these plates. I don't know if they are a standard part or if they were locally made.

Does anyone on the forum know if the wiring to the AJ-107 connectors on the bailout cords is standardized or is it left to the whim of the manufacturers? I'm trying to find out if the General Dynamics bailout cords are compatible with the ones used with the Racal Raptor headsets.

An issue I had with the 12 bolt wheels was that I wasn't torquing them properly when I changed tires. I used a long 1/2" breaker bar and tightened them to where I thought they felt tight. What was happening was I'd be driving down the road and all the sudden I'd hear what sounded like a pistol...

I'm thinking of building up some amplified LS-454 speakers to go with the PRC-25/77 radios that would power directly from the battery connector on the radio and wondered if there was any interest in them. Please let me know. Kurt KG6KMJ

I recently added a Yale P-82 deadbolt to my ambulance body so that I could access it from the back rather than having to crawl through the passenger compartment. Thought I'd share the idea. Kurt

I'm looking for a set of seat belts for the ambulance that have longer nylon straps. No latches needed. What I would like is a set of belts with the webbing dimension of around 120" extended. This is from the outlet of the retractor to the end of the nylon but does not include any metal...

This is actually a duplicate post to one I put up in the HMMWV forum but I thought I would put it here in Electrical also. This is a link repost about what those little number tags in your wiring are meant to tell you. For you new guys getting involved for the first time I hope it helps answer...

Just out of curiosity, does anyone on the list know how to, or if there is a check you can make so tell whether your solargizer is working?

I've been looking online for some explanation for researching part numbers that start with SC-A, SC-B, SC-C, etc that are commonly found on items in radio installation kits. You also see this on electronic components. Is there a method of tracking this stuff back to either a where used...

Does anyone have any idea where I can find the mount for a Harris PRC-117? Why are these things so scarce? TIA, Kurt
