on photos of Iltis returned from Bosnia, those with the 6707 antenna still mounted (prior to removal before being auctioned) had these yellow and white warning stickers...Are these available to be had?

also the front antenna on this SFOR jeep while similar to a 6707, does not appear to be a 6707...am I wrong? if not, what would it be?

as mentioned before- no interest in digital equip, operational or representational, as we all know they are not obtainable Am seeking a 524.

Scotty, do you recall ever seeing a speaker mounted on the dash- passenger side?

Stuart-re licence: do you have to be a member of RAC to obtain a licence? Once you have a licence do you have to maintain an RAC membership?

thanks stuart, I do want functioning radios, and ability to use them. so do want the proprer licenCe.

If you want another doghouse.. lemme know, I only have a couple left...they are going slowly, but are going. a double unit is now boxed and heading out west soon.

BTW..still no thoughts on why a radio would be mounted normally in the doghouse and another mounted on top facing backward out the rear.?
Maybe a reserve unit had a *better idea* ????

cheers

Stuart, you commented on the Fed Gov giving up on Ham ops.
Truth of the matter is that my cell phone, my pc and numerous other electronic devices at my disposal have way more power and usefulness than a 40 year old military radio has.
You mentioned RAC and the amateurs as being self governing.
What is the penalty for those who chose to operate and not have appropriate licensing? I for one know of many who opt for this, call them pirate radio if you will. Basically common folk sick of government BS and interference.

Thanks for the explanation Stuart.
I do want to say that I do not endorse breaking the Law, the rules etc, I was simply curious as to what the reality actually is.
Interesting example you used; driving a tank or brengun carrier down a public road, (that is and has been hashed to death here on MLU before) but does show the grey areas that our hobby can fall into at times.

Stuart, I just picked up a range booster for my PRC25/77,. complete with the adapter box to fit an am-2060.... Now I just need to find a am-2060.

Im wondering, it seems there might be different configurations for the C-2299, ie that connections are in different locations ...sometimes on bottom, sometimes on back.. this seems to be logical to adapt to different applications

But- could someone confirm this or refute this?
