    How about a California Steel Soldiers Rally at a great spot?

    Thank you so much for your thoughtful suggestion. I have looked into the MVPA and MVCC in the past but I guess I like a less structured atmosphere and have had difficulties after joining clubs in the past. I have seen the snobbish and cliqueish behavior of others from military vehicle purists...

    VIC-1 Power indicator lamp question.

    I have a load of radio manuals on disk. I will see if I have any specific to the AM1780 / VIC 1. I have somel manuals that show how to connect and mount the unit and control boxes when in conjunction with the installation of a military radio transceiver. These manuals give all the cable...

    RT524, Vic 1 & H161 headsets hear massive interference

    Thank you for your suggestion... Went to Radio Shack like you suggested and ended up talking to a ham radio buff who suggested I run my grounds as short as possible from the strobe light itself. I ran a 3-4" ground for each light to the steel pole that holds the lights. I then found that these...

    RT524, Vic 1 & H161 headsets hear massive interference

    How do I get rid of noise on radio/Vic1 when convoy lights are on? I installed two conoy strobe lights on deuce. When I have the radio on and am monitoring or keying up I can loudly hear the strobe lights going on and off in the headsets and RT524 speaker. It is a real noisy pain in the rear...

    2013 SoCal Spring Rally

    Got so involved in preparing the truck and ambulance that I finished earlier than expected. So my brother and I decided to get into the wind since we are so antsy to go anyway. Will be leaving tomorrow (Wednesday) in the A.M. If we are not there when you arrive please look for some smoke...

    2013 SoCal Spring Rally

    I have the RT524 radio in the M35 that covers 30-74.95MHZ, and a 50-53.95MHZ radio in the M43. I am a dollar short and a day late again! At least when I am lost I can have a conversation between the two lost vehicles. Maybe I can get a working "Gibson Girl" to use when I get lost.. (The above...

    2013 SoCal Spring Rally

    GPS coordinates I just finished installinga 12VDC outlet for the Garmin GPS in the M35A2 truck. The Garmin does not use the last digits of the coordinates but a check on google shows that I should be within sight of the area. If not, I have the Google directions from my home using Copper City...
