I will be there wandering around on Friday and Saturday.

Pretty straightforward install. I went by the Tarheel instructions and it works very well. Just remember to waterproof the connector on the bottom of the antenna and be sure that the connections to the body are free of any rust or corrosion. I will see if I can get a better picture of the...

That is a Tarheel 75 on a custom made mount. Painted in CARC. It works great on all the ham bands.

If it works and you are happy with the performance, that's all that matters. I prefer the longer antennas that are closer to 1/4 wavelength (at lower freqs) or larger in the upper bands. Now if I could just get rid of all that noise at 6 meters in my work truck.

+3 dBi. VSWR: <2:1 on the Compact antenna? It's only 7.5 inches long. Really??? 2:1 is a FAIL in my word of antennas. Anything above 1.5 gets fixed. "provide revolutionary performance in NLOS (Non-Line-Of-Sight) obstructed environments such as behind buildings, in garages, behind other vehicles...

Moved to proper forum.

Those radials are a great idea. I may need to try that on my rig.

Exactly why I didn't use military antennas. They perform more like a resistor that sorta radiates... a little.

Few pictures of the M1009 and the various antennas that have been installed. Some have been replaced with others. IC7000 and a TMD710G and a Cobra 25 11 meter rig.

There is no Neutral safety switch in the schematics. You are correct, Tinstar had an issue a couple of months ago with the key switch, replaced it and the issues ceased.

I had a M1009 that had a similar issue. Try taking it out of Park and run the gear selector down to the lowest gear and back up to Park. Also try jiggling the gear selector while trying to start the truck, had one truck that was temperamental with that as well.

I have had good success with these people: https://www.classicparts.com/1973-1987-Truck-Parts/departments/8/ Some of the parts were in OEM boxes and others were aftermarket parts.

I don't recall what the current is for the GP relay closure is. I agree with not adding a relay to control a relay, more failure points. I do remember that during the initial GPD design we beefed up the transistor that closes the relay. Seems that the original ones were on the lower end of the...

Looks like it is if it goes to the bottom edge connector of the card.

I had the right side valve cover leaking on my M1008. It was leaking toward the lower rear corner. Never knew that it was leaking until I pulled the engine and found the oil was going down the inside of the frame.

Photos for you.

What does it cost to get the frame blasted and painted?

Your painting skills appear to be much better that your electrical skills. Keep up the good work "old timer",

I had 4 wheels done for $75 each.

You are exactly right! The pictures are from the Leonard Grove collection. His place was in Pleasant Gap, just a few miles from State College.
