FMTV Breaker Correction
Page 8 of PS 561 (Aug 99) incorrectly stated
that circuit breaker (CB) 35 is not used in
FMTV trucks. In fact, CB35 must be used
on all FMTVs equipped with WTEC II
electronic transmission controls. FMTVs
equipped with WTEC III controls do not use
CB35, however. The chart matching circuit
breakers to circuits on Page 9 of PS 561 is
correct.
ASIP SINCGARS Battery Option
NSN 6130-01-462-4442 brings a hold-up
battery insert that holds four AA alkaline
batteries, NSN 6135-01-214-6441. AA
batteries give you an alternative power
source to the BA-5590 battery to maintain
fill data in your advanced system
improvement program (ASIP) SINCGARS
radio.
ASIP SINCGARS Locking Bar
Is the advanced system improvement program (ASIP) SINCGARS RT-1523(C)E locking
bar letting you down? If so, modify it to make it stronger. Follow the instructions
at web site:
www.monmouth.army.mil/peoc3s/trcs/garspsp.htm
If you don’t have
Internet access, contact CECOM at DSN 992-5015 or (732) 532-5015. Or e-mail them at:
welsch@mail1.monmouth.army.mil
They will fax or e-mail the instructions to you. A
better locking bar, NSN 5340-01-456-7985, will be available later this year.
Remote ASIP SINCGARS
Remote your advanced system improve-
ment program (ASIP) SINCGARS RT-
1523(C)E by using the two-wire binding
post adapter, NSN 5935-01-462-6624. When
supplies of that adapter are exhausted, a
new binding post adapter, NSN 5935-01-
463-8290, will be issued. The radio’s new
base stand, NSN 5340-01-463-9002, has
room for the adapter.
MK 19 Mount MWO
All MK 19 machine gun mounts should now
have MWO 9-1010-231-30-2 applied. This
MWO modifies M64 mounts by adding a
universal pintle adapter, ammo bracket
hand knobs, and a catch bag/frame
assembly. If your M64s were missed, tell
your MWO coordinator. He will contact
TACOM-Rock Island’s Cynthia Dochterman
at (309) 782-0371, DSN 793-0371, or e-mail:
