Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
What type of early military GPS unit do you have? Pic would be great.1 early military GPS unit I'd like to get a new home. .
Pic 1 is the RT-524/R-442 setup for the V100. I haven't installed it yet, so I 'borrowed' a picture of the one at Ft Snelling, I'll replace the pic later when mine is in. It is attached to a 4-position VIC-1.
The other radios are Clansman gear I have, namely PRC-349, -350, -351 and -352. The PRC-352 is just a -351 with a 20w amplifier attached to it. In that configuration, it cannot be run off the radio's own whip, it has to be attached to a larger ground spike antenna or one in a vehicle.
The Clansman radios are good quality, and cheap to buy. They are fully compatible with US radios (specifically designed to be so).
Again, I borrowed the -349 and -350 pictures, since I haven't taken any of my own.
The 351/352 can be run off a 24v vehicle through the DCCU, you can see it on the floor in the M1009. It is hooked to the vehicle antenna.
I am currently putting together a semi-permanent vehicle mount adapted from the Brit parts to fit in the M1009. Until then, it works fine seat-belted in!
Last pics show the M1009 as it was displayed at the local Boy Scout jamboree. In the back are Pawnshop's -351, with my -350 just visible to the right of it by the spare tire.
Note the clever wrap-around of the camo net to cover the orange ice chest..
Cheers
PS- the 1009 has had the driver's door panel reinstalled since that photo was taken!
