Here is the reading with the truck engine and the No 1 ( upper ) Chorehorse running . Much more comfortable for the operators than with both generators running . The next test will consist of listening to radio transmissions while the No 1 or No 2 generator is running . I will need to put up a quick aerial on top , connect the No 19 set to the battery bank not being charged and listen to see what the legibility is.

Default Grant battery rack

Started building a rack for the so called Grant battery today . It’s the battery used to start the Onan generator . I used the original 4 holes in the floor of the box . Just overhead is the outlet conduit box for the pos & neg cables connected to the DC side of the generator . To the right , the dedicated tool & spares box for the 19 HP unit .

Repaired all the holes and scuffs with plastic wood and gave the walls , ceiling and accesories a fresh coat of semi-gloss white paint . If she were a girl i would say she looks pretty .
