    New VIC-1 / VIC-3 Intercom to Civvy Radio Adapter Design

    To the guys who are asking about alternative housings: I'd love to accommodate everyone but I have to order the boards as a single run so I can't make the multiple layouts needed to fit enclosures to order. The C2298 is a good compromise because it has exactly the right connectors and just...

    New VIC-1 / VIC-3 Intercom to Civvy Radio Adapter Design

    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...

    Well the easy way to find out is to disconnect the timing advance wire from the top of the injection pump and see if the sound changes. Augi

    Blackout Driving Light Ground

    My blackout driving light had the same problem. There was no ground path. I ran a ground wire from the mounting stud to the marker light next to it and it works fine now. Augi

    Engine noise on morning start ups! HMMWV 6.5 GEP

    Are you sure it's not the cold timing advance? That lasts about 30 seconds if you fire the truck up and immediately pull out into the road. Longer if you just idle it after cranking.

    Frame Reinforcement on an M998

    I off-road my truck a lot. The reason for all of the various reinforcement kits developed for these trucks was because of the several tons of armor added. My empty 998 rag top weighs around 7k lbs according to the dump scale. Fully loaded for camping it might be 1k more. The uparmored trucks are...

There are probably some commercial products out there you can buy and attach to the power in cable but I've never really looked into it. I'm pretty...

    VIC-3 compatibility with RT-524 radio

    It is 100% compatible. I run an RT246 with my VIC-3 weekly. Before I got this radio I was running an RT524 for about 6 months. If you are getting a solid tone when you switch your crew box to monitor a specific radio then the permissions for that crew box to monitor that radio are disabled in...
