    RT-524 low transmit power

    He's using 6 meters, 51.000 Mhz according to what he posted. We need to know what antenna base he is using - The AS-3900 will not work well with the RT-524. The older MX base should be set for the 6 meter range manually and the control wires not hooked up since that's the only legal frequency...

    RT-524 low transmit power

    What frequency are you transmitting on? 6 meters? Is the antenna hooked up properly? Can you put an SWR meter in-line and see what the ratio is? When was the radio last checked into a dummy load? Are you using an MX-6708 base on a vehicle, or an AT-292 base station antenna, or a civilian...

    Need TM# for Multifuel Injector Pump Adjustment

    Look in the Deuce 'stickies' or the TM section, where you can download just about every manual and LO that you will ever need. I did.

    To blast or not .. and then what. Professional advice sought

    The zinc coating is for a 100+ year restoration. Using Rustoleum rusty metal primer in slightly rusty metal (wire brush on a drill) will seal things for your lifetime and probably beyond (Sto Lat), then you can use whatever paint you want as a top coat. Since much of the original paint was...

    MEP803a Saves The Day

    The design of my generator shed allows for a 55 gallon drum secondary tank plumbed into the MEP-003 through a concrete block wall, and tertiary 600 gallon fuel tank (pod) under covered storage beside it. We were without power for almost two weeks following hurricane Hugo (1989). The house is...

    Going to Florida

    First rule of disaster relief : "NEVER SELF DEPLOY" , always go where you are sent, by some group or authority, and have a way to check in with them every four hours or so of your journey (movement phase) to see if conditions have changed. There are literally hundreds of groups that work in...

    Michigan

    Find the BEHR paint thread and it will tell you the correct colors for the three color camo pattern. Then you will have to look at the camo schemes for military van trailers to get an idea of what pattern to use. Good Luck!

    new guy, old truck...

    If you get up Columbia way on a Wednesday afternoon (3 to 9 pm), get off at the Alpine Road Exit (Exit 76), take a left up to the top of the hill and take another left at the light.

    Total Newb: 10KW Generator needed What am I looking for how do I find it.

    MEP-002 has a nominal rating of 52 amps per leg in single phase, or a total of 104 amps. BUT, that is it's rating at 8,000 feet elevation and 100 degrees F. Lower elevations and lower temperatures mean that it can output more amps without shutting down. Onan sold the civilian version of the...

    What have you done to your MKT this week???

    That sounds like the printed version of what the army calls TM 10-412. The cards should be 5.5 x 8 inches, and some will have color pictures of the food to be prepared. I have a set, somewhere. Air Force calls it AFJMAN 34-606, Navy calls it NAVSUP Publication 7, and the USMC named it MCO...

    Graves Mountain Rally, Syria VA August 31-September 4, 2017

    For horseback riding, you go to the stable at the main farmhouse and rent a horse or two for the specified hours (there may be a little more to it than that, but not much), but we have dropped folks off there so they could go horseback riding while we were on the trails with the MV's.

    M35 Oil Filter Seals Leaking.

    If you need a replacement tube, send me a PM with your address and I'll see about round one up, as I've replaced four of my deuce oil filters to the spin on type and still have the old stuff somewhere.

    Has anyone painted their m101 cover? (with Behr or something else)

    Haven't used the Behr on a trailer cover, but I have put Cool-Seal on a vinyl 16 x 16 frame tent where it was getting a bit thin. Done about 18 months ago and it seems to be holding up. The Cool-Seal is an elastometric and has more flex. Area painted is just below the capital "C" in this...

    Yep, Mahala has flown deuces, and we have You Tube to prove it. You'll be able to recognize her by her tee-shirt, which says "If I had balls, they would be bigger than yours!".
