Harris hf gear.

Unread post by USCGMatt » April 12th, 2015, 5:18 pm

Good afternoon everyone.

After reading the RF-382 coupler manual, I came across an interesting image. Has anyone ever seen a setup like this in person. or better yet have pictures. Its on page 25 of the manual.

here is a link to the manual. http://www.w2hx.com/x/RF-382/CU-2397.pdf

Thanks.
Matt

Hi Matt,

I have never seen that setup in person or pics. But awhile ago I did run across a manual showing diagrams and installation kit info for installing a GRC-213 HF setup in a M151. I always wanted to put a different radio setup than the RT-524 or AM-2060/PRC-77 on my MUTT.

It uses the old MS-116, MS-117, MS-118 sectional whips on a AB-1322/GR rubber antenna base, with a Hughes PRC-104 and AM-7152 squelch unit mounted on the MT-6234 mount/antenna tuner. It is nothing like the setup you show, it is alot smaller and lighter with less RF power. It fits in the same MT-1029 mount used for the RT-524,etc., and is mounted similarly on the fender. It is a 20watt USB/LSB HF setup.

I acquired the components and put this setup on my M-151A2. I can scan in the manual pages and post pics if you are interested.

If you ever put the setup you show on yours I would love to see pics of it.

I built all the cables, tested the setup, now i just need the mounts. It should be a pretty straight forward install.
