Hi All, I'd like to announce the kickoff of a new forum dedicated to discussion of military radios. We have a great community and source of information on military vehicles here at SS and my goal is to recreate that for the military radio collecting hobby. Please come join us at...

Hi All, I've designed and prototyped a PCB that will allow safe use of BB-2590 Lion batteries in my PRC-104 radio. It is a drop-in replacement for the mystery charging circuit board in the base of the BB-x90 battery box and regulates any input voltage above 28.5v down to 28.5v. If the battery...

After making a bunch of cellphone only adapters that don't pass the PTT signal that a radio would need to operate I decided to design and build a prototype adapter that allows you to connect ham radios in addition to cellphones to the VIC intercoms. The audio paths are selectable between 300 and...

Hi All, Is anyone interested in connecting their cellphones to to their VIC-1 or VIC-3 systems? For my own use I've designed and built a transformer isolated impedance matching box that allows me to connect my phone to any of the radio ports on the VIC-1 or VIC-3 systems. The VIC treats the...

Seems like a lot of people have questions about transmission swapping, so I'll refresh the link to my write-up on the topic. Maybe make it a sticky? http://g503.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=63&t=221765&p=1305053&hilit=4l80#p1305053 Augi

I won a pair of M101A3's at Barstow and I decided to take the HMMWV down there to pick them both up in one go. To tow them both at once required stacking one on the back of the other. Flipping them was harder and more time consuming then I expected because of one thing: I assumed after reading...

This is my first time buying from GL and I have a question about the EUC: In section II I've checked Box A (stating I plan to keep the items purchased). Do I also need to check Box C (items will not be sold to non-US citizens)? Or do I only need to check box C if I check one one of the...

Maybe I missed it on their website, but I can't fine a phone number other than corporate hq anywhere. I would like to call the Barstow site to ask about loadout scheduling. A couple of posters here had recommended doing that. Thanks, Augi

I'm looking for someone in the Barstow area who would be willing to loadout an M101 trailer or two (single pick-up date) and store locally for a couple of weeks until I can get down from San Luis Obispo to pick them up. The auctions end at the end of December, so I presume loadout would be in...

I just bought an 86 M-998. Awesome truck! It's been sitting for a long time so I have some work cut out for me. I have found just about everything I need in the various TM's, but I can't seem to figure out what is supposed to be plugged into the open connector in the attached photos. Can...

Hi All, Simple question. I'm starting to do research so I can get into the HMMWV game in the near future. Question pertains to military of course, not civvy. Thanks, Augi
