    S-250 Shelter / Ham Shack Conversion

    I have the TM's (pdf) that show how to install a GRC-106 in the M-1009. It has all the antenna installation info too so you can make a proper looking installation. E-mail me if you want a copy. Steve KA1LHZ

    S-250 Shelter / Ham Shack Conversion

    I'm interested in the USB/LSB filter. I'm bringing my shelter on the Alcan trip in August and have been looking for one. N2WM and I are going to operate from the road. I can post pics of the MSC-37 so far.

    S-250 Shelter / Ham Shack Conversion

    WOOOO HOOOO!!!! I just took delivery of the GRC-106A Sunday morning. I managed to get it in the mount and adjust the side brackets. It looks really good. I have to dress the power cables and connect them to the shelter power bus before I fire it up. I squirreled the spare driver and finals...

    S-250 Shelter / Ham Shack Conversion

    I took more pics of the shelter today. Then I got an e-mail that the radio stork is coming tomorrow. I'll have the GRC-106A in the shelter for more pics. The next part I need to get is the ME-165 SWR meter to mount on the wall above the radio. Then the fun begins getting it all up and running...

    The RT-834 has 2 tubes in it and the AM-3349 has 3. I wanted a vintage radio that was reliable. Many people have steered me away from the GRC-19 because it is all tubes and reliability is an issue. I'll be using this quite a bit. 73. Steve. KA1LHZ

    S-250 Shelter / Ham Shack Conversion

    I finally got the GRC-106 mount brackets welded to the old SB-86 mount in the shelter. It looks really good! I mounted a MT-297 underneath so the C-434 wasn't mounted with a bungee cord but just plugs into the mount. I wanted to keep things as close to authentic as I could. I also added a 24...

    S-250 Shelter / Ham Shack Conversion

    I thought I was the only one with the Ham Radio / Military Vehicle / Commo Shelter affliction. I've got a S-144 shelter I'm restoring into a functional display unit. I need to get a AN/GRC-106 for it. I have most of the goodies that were pilfered out of the brackets including the original style...
