Iltis comms- radio

[chris vickery]

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?

[Marc Montgomery]

well.. the photos you posted earlier show connections on each side and two male connections on the bottom.. I think Ive seen 2299 with the male connections out the back..I just want to confirm this... It does seem to make sense for different applications where the box would be mounted on its back against a wall (male connections out the bottom) and other applications where it would be mounted on the bottom with connections out the back.

[Marc Montgomery]

ooops...looks like I was right (again)..there is more than one configuration.

Stuart, Im not sure what you wanted me to see in the manual section (link) you posted, but it will come in handy as a reference.

I do still want to buy the radio CD you have avail.

My original question concerned configuration of the c-2299 (which i am looking for btw) i thought I had seen an alternative config, and theorized this made sense to cope with various applications. You said there was only one config, but the link I posted shows there are two, one with bottom mounting, one with side mounting.

Possibly the side mounting (your photos) is more common? and the bottom mounting may be a newer version?

Come on Marc..only two ways of mounting it...???
Mounting it doggie style is three....
Carry on..

ebay seems to prevent the ability to copy these photos.. so please take a moment to look at the ebay photos link I posted which show a 2299 and you'll clearly see the obviously different configuration that I have been talking about.

I wonder if this alternative configuration might not actually be more user friendly as the switches would be oriented vertically when *mounted* to the top of a doghouse,?

Although...perhaps having a higher profile in this vertical orientation it would be more vulnerable to damage than the "common" version mounted on its back?

*attached* (for Alex-teehee)

or, if this configuration of the 2299 is so unusual, any theories on why that would be?

Stuart, those plastic cable mounts look very neat. I presume these are common items easily found at Addisson or electronics stores?
