Default Looking for RT-524
I am looking for a working RT-524 to install in my M1009 CUCV. I have the mount and antenna. I got an e-mail from a guy named Doug Stutzman in Nevada (Pvt Jarhead's Surplus) who has a set for $399.00 plus $60.00 for shipping. He wants me to send a postal money order, which has set off an alarm bell. Has anyone ever bought from this guy and is he reputable? Does anyone have a RT-524 or know where I can get one? Many thanks.

From my understanding, PVT Jarhead is a very reputable radio guy in here. Several guys have bought radios from him. I do not have any experience with him however. I just got my RT-524 last week off ebay

I have never heard a bad thing about him and I have heard a lot about him. Never personally bought anything from him but if you want a working radio I hear he is the guy to buy from. I do not think you will have any problem.

I DO know the guy. I HAVE bought from him. I WOULD (and WILL) buy from him again. I have never heard anything bad about the guy.

Fear not troop, he's a good guy. The only problem is he doesn't always have what I need.

We got a M151a1 yesterday with a RT524, functioning on transmit/receive, and two PRC77 Squad Radios with it.

I am getting another to put on the deuce for parade communications.

I wonder what kind of FCC license it takes to be legal? Anyone know?

Just adding my voice to the choir, but I've heard nothing but good things about Pvt Jarhead - his stuff looks great - and his prices are really good.

Most of the frequencies the 524 operates on are commercial and public safety, with the exception of the amateur 6 meter segment, 50-54Mhz. Even if you somehow got a low band commercial assignment, unlikely, the 524 is not narrow FM so not allowed. Most of us that use these have a ham ticket and use them on 51.6 as well as a few other 6 meter frequencies.

I have heard of some using the 49Mhz "family radio" segment but not recommended. Also illegal.
