    MEP-803A getting it to work,,,my first one!

    Do not forget the NSN. Most -24P's have it listed next to the part #. For the 803A, its in the back of the book. If you punch in the NSN in the big auction web site, it is often listed, when the part # is not. And when one can do the NSN research, they can often come up with one or more...

    Here is another tip for TM's. Go to the page that lists the info, like Part number and NSN. Look at item #38. Then go all the way to the right side. There are two numbers. A #1 and #2. Look up, to the heading of the both columns. The #1 is how many of the rubber "nuts" you need to fit that...

    In picture #2, those two wires need to be pushed down a bit and secured, or, and this is what I did, I wrapped some inner tube or similar material around them, and secured it with wire ties. These two wires will "light up" the the night if they rub through. Its a problem spot on the set.

    You need to load this baby up. Run it at closer to 75-80%, (or higher) until carbon starts to come out of the exhaust. It will look like tiny coal stones. 2-4 hours min. I used to do at least 6 hours, when it looked like yours. From then on, just keep the load up over 75% and your set will be happy.

    TEST, TEST, TEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Get a fuse, stick it in and try it. Several times over the years, when troubleshooting the TQG's, I found a bad VR fuse, and thinking "The VR is bad". Well, no it wasn't. It would seem, that someone had probably, (I can not say with 100% certainty) needed a a...

    Buy several fuses for the VR. That way, if it blows, you know you need a new VR AND you have another good fuse to go with it. Normally, when you have a fuel gauge stuck in the over full position you need to: 1. Tap on the meter a bit. 2. Check that it is hooked up correctly. 3. Pull the...
