Thank you, for this clear and concise video ! I have the nco of the quarter competition coming up! Huge lifesaver- now just have to memorize each step. lol
For the love of god, DO NOT lick it and stick it. Use silicon grease, or chap stick. Saliva will rot the rubber O-ring and damage the handset connector
I once sent one of my newbie hard chargers over to comm to ask Gunny for a PRC-E7. ...I can still hear the echo of that poor PFC's tears hitting the deck when he found one.
Brings back memories when on active duty Army Signal Corps in the early 90s. This radio system was starting to be deployed back then. So much lighter, longer battery life, better range, and easy to use than the old vietnam era radios they replaced.
i use it now at my unit. pretty cool but it’s a guard unit so a bunch of our batteries and antennas are bad. reminds me of trouble shooting back in AIT
Not gonna front, im going from a "high speed unit" to a regular ol comms unit. Detachment that has gear from the late 90s. I havent touched SINGCARS since 04. Im used to Harris everything, nice antennas, barely any coax....definitely wanna brush up on this before i show up and look like a bag of mashed up assholes.
Instead of spit or chapstick to lube orings, use silicone grease. Why debate which half-assed method is worse when you can just do it right the first time?
Thats the most barracks carpet I've ever seen. They color it like puke and make it 1/8th of an inch thick so you can't tell the wild shit that happened there.
Teacher: "Cliffnotes and youtube videos won't help you in the real world" Me, years later in the military slamming a monster 10 min before a training I have to give: "cLiFfNoTeS wOnT hElP yOu In ThE rEaL WoRlD"
Can anyone tell me if SINCGARS can be jammed by the enemy, say Russia or China? How close would they have to be? Can they do it from a drone, a plane? How far would jamming work, is it omni-directional and can you exclude your own equipment? What can be done to protect yourself from jamming of radio signals? Asking for a book I am writing...
@@TheDavidPauls I am obviously not asking for any classified information. Only what is in the public domain and probably common knowledge for those (unlike me) who understands radio technology. :)
@@statonpararescue it's not for sale anymore my asking price was too much anyway in the thousands if it's going to be sold in the future it's most likely going to be on eBay Craigslist or let go
