JD's new M152
Well, congrats!
Nice looking piece of kit.
Missing a few items, looking at the right hand side...how about the ATU frame for the C42 set...the rack for the Johnson 300W charger...the fording equipment...pioneer tool rack...
WRT radio equipment, notwithstanding any posts which may precede this one...
Typical Reserve installation was with the so-called Survival Box which was a self-contained unit containing all the componentry required to put the station on the air. This was early 60s, in M152s.
Finally, someone smartened up and issued RAKs so that major radio items could be secured in situ within the vehicles.
These were RS C42s, using J1 and J2 boxes, depending on mission...RRB was very common in the 60s...typical range was only about 15 miles on High Power, therefore RRB was a desirable feature.
Looking in the back door, the charging panel and banks of BB46 85 AHC batteries were located on the right side. Left side usually had storage bins and perhaps another radio, depending on role, located near the bulkhead door. The bulkhead door, while usually fully accessible in Reserve modes, was pretty well blocked off by the installation of a table arrangement for the station's radios.
ATUs were mounted either on front fender or left rear.
BTW, there is an MLU link to the back door shot of an M152...but I'm geting no joy in pulling it up.
