I agree. I try very hard to make enough to make it worth it for me and those buying & always help those who support me. This type of stuff is more of a community than a business. You earn business by being a good member of the community rather than simply having what someone needs. This should...

That is why I put the one I have together for only a little more than what it would cost you to buy stuff you won't need from the vendor. Bigger places always up-charge moor due to their overhead. Like Grainger for the ease of having a large business able to deal with one place. Their prices are...

Midwest copied the kit I made after Ronmar & I were buying different solenoids & trying them. After I made the video on my YouTube & shared all the parts, they copied it & offered it at the big price. I put together a similar kit with instructions & stuff for nowhere near the cost so if people...

Thanks!!

Really can't go wrong with that proper trailer. Nice!

Definitely not normal. Looks like you're ground wire is missing and grounding elsewhere? The grey box looks out of place as well.

Usually if they are completely dead, they were hooked up to AC voltage and not DC voltage & are completely burnt out inside.

Quite a few of them floating around the United States now. See them pop up for sale often.

The picture in your original post shows a VHF radio. Your thread is named RF-7800M-V51X & that is a radio that doesn't exist. Now, you are saying the label says RF-7850M, a multi-band radio, not VHF only. That radio does exist. Going off the picture you shared, it is a RF-7800V-V511 though...

There is no such thing as a RF-7800M-V51X. On top of that, the X is just a fill in for the actual part of that model number that radio is in the L3Harris documentation for IPA's.

I think I have a cable that will work for this to connect it to VIC-3.

I never understood why the "dummy cord" rope was so short. I think they always end up being cut if they actually get used.

I leave all mine outside... some on a trailer, some on the ground. I keep my covers on them. Has never been a problem. As far as a solar battery tender... make sure it is one without any sort of lights for status on it. They will slowly drain the power down. I had one I setup & it killed my...

These are NOT injectors, they are injection pumps. Big difference! You must use proper terminology or you may end up getting the wrong parts/advice when using just words with others. Not trying to be a bother... Just help you avoid a mistake. Years ago when learning with these, I called them...
