Wayne, sorry my guy didn't work out.
If you were to put decal packages together I for one would likely purchase several sets...

Here is another radio warning decal Wayne. The long one across the windshield of my CDN2. Sorry about the quality of the photos but they were taken on a film camera in 1989

Great reference Grant. Thanks for posting the photos. I don't recall ever seeing the long one before. That's a real attention grabber.

Notice that the radio decal is applied over the french half of the seat belt decal. This was not exactly the official nor authorized application. Not saying that I wouldn't have done it myself back then, there was a lot of animosity on the bilingualism subject in those days.

Grant, its interesting how this particular jeep had both versions of the radio warning decals. I guess they really wanted to get the message across. Does this jeep have anything posted under the hood (ex: Fire Warning, or Cooling System)?

It hasn't been mentioned yet, but there is also the warning label that is posted on the cover of the alternator. That was standard to the component itself.

Default Long radio warning decal

I believe that radio decal originated with the M113 series vehicles. I did see it on several 5 ton's (mostly wreckers that had radio installations added) as well. I have seen both adhesive decals and printed ones on Aluminum or Zinc strips.

I did have an old photo of Militia M38A1's (early 80's) from my old unit and they didn't have that decal. But then again it was an Infantry unit and no radio installation (tray and 1780 box IFIRC) was fitted, just a manpack radio so it was not getting power from the alternator so no need for the decal, must have been part of the installation kit. I didn't see the "no smoking in DND vehicles" and "headlights must be on" ones. Perhaps I didn't look close enough.

I chacked the NSNs for both the long decal and the rectangular warning decals. The long one is generic with no ERN attached to it, which indicates that there would not have been a cfto asking for it. The rectangular one does have the M113 family along with the AVGP associated with it, so it would have been in a CFTO somewhere to install that decal. The rectangular one is now obsolete.
