Another small update... I forgot that I had a GRA-39 unit around that has a U-229 plug to output and receive audio levels appropriate for operating a radio. With it, I can hear audio played out clearly from my PC to H-250 handsets at both sides of the GRA-39 and the loudspeaker on the local...

Sorry, almost missed your message. I have more practical functionality in mind, but you absolutely could use this for a static display. As a matter-of-fact, I've already unintentionally done that. I wanted some interesting chatter to listen to when first testing, so I pulled up YouTube videos...

I hear you. There's really no other source of information for this piece of hardware at this time, so I hope they'll let it stand so everyone can see what I'm talking about until myself or someone else can document it elsewhere. The interface hardware? I spent $26 for the USB interface box...

Update on the General Dynamics device. It came in on Thursday and I've been playing with it off and on. First off, it's beautifully plug-and-play. I just grabbed the typical USB B cable and plugged it into a Windows 7 machine...in about 10 seconds, it had self installed and was ready for use...

Last night, I made use of my new Speedy Stitcher to repair the window on my salvageable door. It was my first try at it, so I made a bit of a mistake in getting the window perfectly lined up, but it doesn't look bad by any stretch and it opens and closes very easily. Some paraffin wax also...

Odd...but absolutely! He's in Louisville, KY. First time I did business with him, I had to leave a voicemail and he got back to me later. Real pleasant guy to work with, so worth the wait [if you have to wait!] 502 893-8724

That's really tough for me to say with consistency. Amphenol publishes very good public data about their connectors. If you can positively identify one of the connectors, you can find the catalog that lists that connector and you should be able to find the other gender of connector in that...

Glad you got to enjoy your HMMWV with a good mission...but why does everyone always try to dump things into sinkholes? Sinkholes pretty much form because of underground water and quite often are going to be an extremely shallow path to a high water table, so dumping things into a sinkhole means...

Dollars! Everything else has pretty much already been bought and paid for, so I can easily keep working on those things. Since I have some massive purchases to make very soon, I'm trying to hold off on the batteries as long as I can in the event that there are other high dollar items that will...

I've been ready to test my transmission the last couple days, but my engine is now failing to start. The batteries are known to be weak, so I don't get a whole lot of cranking time before I have to let the charger bring them back up (probably about 10-15 good 15 second cranks over an hour)...

I'm trying to figure out a good way to pass along audio from a computer to a military radio, and vice-versa. I've bought this General Dynamics USB Audio Adapter that I'm going to try out...

Once my EUC cleared, I inspected the vehicle to ensure that no parts had gone missing since the auction listing and there were no unexpected damages. Normally most people would do this at the same time they were actually taking it off the lot, but myself and my carrier weren't available at the...

Unless, of course, your local GP rep is a rock star. Mine was. The guy in Indianapolis is very laid back, friendly, and while he's firm on what days he's going to be available, he was happy to make arrangements outside of his schedule for a professional carrier to come by and make a pickup. I...

This is just a question out of curiosity...why is the "no insurance topics" rule in place? Is it because it was just a question that was asked way too often and nobody read the stickies about who commonly insures, or was there a greater reason behind it? I could see it lumping into title...

Yup. If you walk around your vehicle, the passenger rail should have a plate that says "SLAVE RECEPTACLE INSIDE", to which you should be able to open the door, look at the front of the passenger seat base, and see a squarish opening with a [should be] plastic-capped receptacle. If that cap is...

Ran what should be the last wire for my transmission wiring harness and was eager to test, but my "Y" split rubber shell connectors were missing. No problem, I thought. I'll just make a Y-split cable with all these connectors and scrap wire I have around, but alas, my roommate lost the solder I...

Excellent pictures and videos! Glad that the steep hill and the recovery got posted.

I fully expect to see pictures of my beer vest. Great riding yesterday, guys!

On my way with a small load of radio and intercom gear for trade. Might also get beer. See you all in a little over an hour.

Or if you go all-out with it in a 2-door setup, you can remove the rear seat bases and put the cans in the rear footwells. This is the standard configuration for the howitzer prime mover configuration, which allows you to carry 2 water cans on one side and 2 fuel cans on the other. I meant to...
