The pictures have nothing to do with the content!!

Here’s what i got: a HMMWV with two mounted QEAMs (Maybe using a cordless drill to expediate the antennae erection even further) using the COM-201B instead of the feed-cones. A generator (Not sure what size I will need but I’d like it to be as small as possible maybe even a local-purchase instead of NSN-order but it’s got to be able to run two 92 systems a battery charger and a MTS as well.)

I’d like to know what ideas you have for the ideal RTXM/Jump-toc/just-plain-commo-badassery HMMWV (our shop is only authorized 1 truck so it has to be HMMWV)

The biggest problem I have as far as getting the gear is that QEAMs cost about 5k ea and the 201′s are 2k ea… the HMMWV mounts for the queams are a 1 ea item (ridiculous) and our BN leadership would much rather spend their money on Plasma TV’s and expensive BASE-X tents for the TOC so budgets tight and i have to fight for the 10k worth of gear that’s actually useful. I’m an E-4 without much pull so i have to be very convincing… any idea’s?

I pretty much guarantee that you are the most knowledgable person about Retrans on all of Yahoo Answers.

Try AKO, the AKO forums especially, or CALL.

Plus, those sites are secured, so you don’t have to worry about giving up “sensitive but unclassifed” info.

Good Luck
