Ouch!

PRC77's are only 4 watts, without a good antenna and an AM-2060 they are not much better than the GMRS HH's. Good antenna gives you an improved SWR and the AM2060 puts a bit more power in the output signal. Or, alternately, send the radio unit up on top of a hill, then try to talk.

How about posting the TM numbers of what you are looking for. That way if we come across any of them, we will recognize what they are. As I sit here looking at a sealed copy of TM 9-2320-342-10-1 (Truck, Wrecker, 8X8 M984A4).

A - 2 meter (146.500 Mhz) B - 2 meter (ditto plus GMRS - 70 centimeter) C - 6 meter (51.000 Mhz) And I'm WQTQ575 on GMRS!

We probably need to scan the channels once we get there since the dirt bike crowd will likely be using some of them (hopefully only the FRS channels, SINCE THEY LIKELY DON'T HAVE AN ACTUAL LICENSE - we do have an FCC license!).

400 # is about right for one heavy in-the-box, sure you didn't win three?

Don't know about others, but I am using the Black Jack Ultra-Roof 1000 white siliconized elastometric coating. It seals the seams, reflects the sun keeping the inside cooler, flexes up to 350 percent, and while not strictly GI anymore, it still looks good. And for my needs, it does not need to...

Looks like the AFV kit (#35004). Very good detail on them. If you are searching evil-bay, also look for 'ARV' as some sellers have not figured out how to spell. I've found bargains that way - 'Vivater' instead of 'Vivitar' has gotten me lenses at half the price I would have been bid up to if...

$3.349 at Sam's (Columbia, SC) yesterday for diesel. I now have 80 gallons in cans at home.

Fair Radio, Haynie Electric, and several other vendors should have the part.

Yes, BUT! Since the heads produce more power, more power MUST be put into them, more than a MEP-003 can produce, and far more than a MEP-002 can produce. Result - low frequency followed by motor failure. Even if you somehow limit it to the 10KW power output, the head, being larger will take...

Most trucks do not have a PTO on them as stock. What does your dataplate say? "W/Winch" or "W/o Winch". Only trucks built with winches come standard with a (front drive) PTO. There are also specialty (rear drive) PTO's for dump trucks, fuel haulers and similar vehicles.

Alternative is to get some black silicone in a tube and some Saran Wrap. Put the Saran Wrap on the windshield frame, lay a couple of good beads of the silicone on top of it and lower the hard top onto it, then clamp it down. If you want to make sure it's not all squeezed out, put a few small...

Outside may have been hot and humid, but we stayed in a cabin with a working A/C. No complaints there!

Andy, if you're willing to pay the fuel bill for driving the 814 up there and back, I'm sure John would consider it. It's about 530 miles each way, times 5 MPG just so you can start on the math offline. You might also have to furnish one of those Red Dot A/C units for the cab - I understand the...

Yes, but the Blue Trail can be driven by a regular pick-up truck (at low speeds) and she was on the upslope side on it, not the down-slope side where 'mount-son-of-a-biscuit' dropped off just about as fast on the trail as it did on the side - but the trail had fewer standing trees on it. I hope...

Zout, we've all been at the VA Rally. Just got home. I will tell you this. The M-37+NDT's and a half full fuel tank had 'opportunities' with a 60 degree slope covered in Kudzu and wet leaves - no paint was damaged in the process, but Adam's mother won't be riding with him again on the trails...

John, Adam and I are scheduled to arrive Thursday evening, but we are in one of the cabins up the road a bit, not in the field. We will check in with Bman on Friday morning.

Your cable was probably meant to be hooked directly to a generator, probably a 5kw (MEP-002A), hence no plug on one end, with the other going into the shelter. You are lucky - that two pin plug is north of $180, without any wire!

HAD! Carry covers have dried up since the rebuild program completed in 2010. Be prepared for sticker shock if you have some made. The two tone vinyl is about double the price per yard of the single color stuff, then there's the special fasteners and other sewn-in items that have to be...
