    test photo

    Well there's your problem, it's tan, lol Welcome. Some image editors don't actually change the orientation, just the header info so the view shows it correctly. If taking it with a phone just remember vertical video syndrome, your tv isn't vertical it is horizontal so hold your phone horizontal.

    numbering a radio truck

    Mod can we close this before it get out of hand. OP pm'd me yesterday, and I pointed him to some units that should help him. Instead of being rude to the OP, let's try to help him. I will say this, he is in the national guard, he was tasked with something and there is no sop in his unit...

    Most ridiculous workaround ever, or a COOL idea? (Air conditioning)

    Even a modest ac unit that draws up to 8 amps will NOT draw 28 amps from a 24v source. Good way to figure out your ampere draw on a 12v inverter. Multiply the amperage by the voltage, 8x110=880 then drop the zero, so your amperage draw of the inverter should be in the 88 amps range. Now a 24...

    I keep hearing about large bore air chuck. Is that something I can change, and it is just the stem or my air chuck or both? Also, in a world of laziness, I mean being safety is there a chuck that you can dial the pressure you want and not have to worry about over inflation? I had one of those...

    Most ridiculous workaround ever, or a COOL idea? (Air conditioning)

    Yeah, General Dynamics came up with this great idea of an air conditioner, only problem is it was ran off the hydraulics and was prone to leaks. We would have crew members put ice bags on the electronics in the summer to keep the electronics cool. It was then you found out if you really...

    Most ridiculous workaround ever, or a COOL idea? (Air conditioning)

    When in the 88 or in the M1 we would take the NBC hose in our nomex suit and turn on the NBC system. Sucked having to change filters but sure did knock a few degrees off in those fry an egg on the hull days.

    numbering a radio truck

    There is a sop, guaranteed, have to look at higher levels if the company or battalion doesn't have it. It's all about uniformity, but seeing your from MI, I know a little of how 1073 operates from my wife having the pleasure of being with them, so it is possible there isn't one. Check with the...

    numbering a radio truck

    Is this for a restoration of for a current vehicle? Restoration is period driven of stlye, but a current vehicle still in use your unit should have a sop on the lettering and numbering.

    S-250 Shelter Power Receptical Question

    The two identical connectors are for piggy backing shelters when you don't have a distribution box or want cleaner cabling. Take the cover off the inside panel and they should be connected to each other. Can't piggy to many off each other, mainly for field ops, use one 15k hook up to your main...
