The US Government has decided that citizens aren't supposed to have military radios and have started shredding them instead of selling them. The only thing that might become available is excess from manufacturers samples but finding them is nearly impossible unless you know someone. Kurt KG6KMJ

Something to keep in mind when using these butane torches is the orifice that the butane passes through is really small, on the order of a few thousandths of an inch and if you use cheap Chinese butane that orifice will plug up and the tool will stop working. I found this out the hard way with...

I believe that Mike Murphy has power adapters for these units.

There is no rewiring necessary to use 12v bulbs in your 101 trailer or any military vehicle for that matter. With the exception of the dash lamps and the one in the turn signal switch (BA9s) all the bulbs all the BA15 based lamps and are available in 6, 12 and 24 volts. All you need to know is...

I use the threaded PVC caps on my radio antennas and they work well there too. I just wish there was some way to dye them instead of painting them. The only problem I see with using them for the slave recepticle is the sandpaper will abrade off the protective finish on the connector and...

The radiating element itself is just a piece of stainless rod, the problem is that most of the 3916s don't come with the clamping nut that holds it to the matching unit. If someone can come up with some of them or figure out a replacement we'd be set. As you say, there seem to be plenty of the...

Looks like somebody else thought the NATO connectors might work for them. Picked this up at a local surplus store.

If you look up under the dashboard everything looks stock. The original connector is still attached to the flasher unit and no one can tell that what's installed is a better component.

That's exactly what I did here. The Nartron flashers are pretty easy to gut, I haven't tried any of the other models out there. I've ordered a couple of the connectors that mate with the wiring harness connector that can be put directly onto the flashers wires then all you would need would be...

On my last outing the turn signal flasher died in the middle of the Veterans Day parade. I didn't have another one on the shelf so I went looking for a solution. What I found was a 12-24v flasher unit from Grote (44010) that will work with both regular lamps and LED lights up to 12 amps which...

Nah, just keep hounding the zoomies for those 206 manuals. LOL

Depending on the tuner that's installed in the AN/GRR-8 it will receive from .5 - 512 mhz. This receiver is part of the AN/PDR-11 direction finding systems made by Watkins Johnson. You can find info on them at www.radionerds.com. Years ago I wanted a nice military looking radio that would...

The only military radios I'm aware of that would do what you want are some of the surveillance sets like the GRR-8 and I don't think anyone is willing to destroy one of them to listen to crappy mono audio. Kurt KG6KMJ

The PRC-148 has embedded crypto in it that Uncle doesn't like you to own. The export version has a non-US crypto algorithm in it that's OK. That's the one you want to look for. They show up on the auction sites occasionally for high dollars. Kurt KG6KMJ

I sent these guys 2 CDs of radio TMs and never even got a Thanks Mate back. I visited the Royal Signals museum a few years ago, it's a work in progress and may turn out well someday. Kurt

When the cooling system is functioning the fan clutch will actually move about 1/4" forward and backwards indicating the clutch is functioning. By applying air pressure to either the hose from the Kysor-Cadillac valve on the firewall shelf or by applying it directly to the fitting on the...

HMMWV seat covers Dave Pizzaferrato at Weebee Webbing (www.odcloth.com) made a set of cordura nylon ones for me that are the correct color and haven't faded or sweat stained like the original canvas ones do. Top quality products at very fair prices. As far as waterproofing, I've been thinking...

The difference between the Trimpack and the Transpack was that only the Trimpack had P code capability otherwise they were pretty much the same GPS. The most obvious difference physically was the lack of the second 5 pin connector on the side of the GPS. Once they disabled the P code dithering...

The way this switch works is you need to lift up on the lock lever while simultaneously moving the switch lever (top lever) to the position you want it in. Right is for the service lights and left is for your blackout lighting. I've had the spring in the lock lever break before and the lever...
