    Where to get Military radio for a m1009?

    Unfortunately, that is a very small part of the transceiver's capabilities. Most of 6 meter band is designated SSB (single sideband) or FM simplex, with some for code (CW) only, so you would have to stay on the FM portions of the band. You need an amateur radio operator license to use this band...

    Where to get Military radio for a m1009?

    Before he gets an operating radio, he should find out what it takes to get appropriate license(s), and learn transmitting requirements. If the frequencies are still in use by the military, or have been assigned to other users, it would be illegal to transmit. Illegal transmissions could have a...

    Front tire blow out going 55 MPH on the freeway

    Hi - Thank you for posting pix. I am confused - in post 1, you said "The blow out was so server the tire bead had come completely off the rim both inter and outer, along with that the valve stem had been sheared off too." Tire looks seated on both inner and outer now? Suggest you check the...

    Front tire blow out going 55 MPH on the freeway

    When tire looses air, there is a lot of energy absorbed by the extreme sidewall flexing. I have seen instances where the tire got so hot, it caught fire, so smoke is to be expected. The cuts were caused by the extreme sidewall flexing of an older tire. When tires age, they are like an older...

    Reprecussions of Mistreatment

    Riding the clutch don't make sense, unless he was wasted or trying to blow the motor. If you ever been around a slipping clutch - the smoke and stench is intolerable. I can't understand how some folks think.

    Reprecussions of Mistreatment

    ??? :cookoo: Were they doing hill climbs or mudding with it? Looks like the clutch was allowed to slip to the point of total destruction. When the clutch started to overheat, there would have been lots of acrid smoke all over. Hard to picture anyone continuing to operate it, much less be able...

    LSSV: 2005 Chevy Crew Cab, Fl to VA and back.

    I see the key. I see Air Conditioning! Someone had trouble with the Driver window - looks like it could be a power window? At least they left the door inside cover on the back seat. Looks like it might not take too much to get the engine running.
