The SMART program receieved a suggestion about the strobe light on
top of the M1097 shop equipment contact maintenance (SECM) truck
If the strobe light is used while the
antennas are tied down, the radio gets
feedback every time the light flashes.
Not only is this annoying, but it lim-
its good commo.
The suggester solved the problem by
removing the tiedown from the rear and
attaching it to the grill guard on the
same side of the truck. This keeps the
radio and the strobe from interfering
with each other!

SINCGARS…
Get an Edge on the Mount
NSN
2590-01-291-1033 brings a 5-ft, 5-in plastic protective edge for your
HMMWV SINCGARS radio mount. Or does it?
The supply folks say this item is
out of stock.
All is not lost, though. You can
order the same edge stuff with NSN
2590-01-196-7281. The only differ-
ence is the unit of issue. Instead of
5-ft, 5-in, you’ll only get one foot.
So, to make a protective edge, order
6 feet of the material and cut it to fit.
If you order the protective edge using NSN 2590-01-291-1033 and are still wait-
ing for it to arrive, consider cancelling your requisition and ordering the substitute,
NSN 2590-01-196-7281.
Dear PFC D.A.,
Thank you, and thank the SMART suggester, too. As
long as there are no safety issues involved, this looks
like a good solution to a noisy problem. If some of
you other SECM truck operators have solved
this problem in another way, let us know.
Put a protective edge on mount!
The only
difference is…
…the
unit
of issue!
ouch!
that
mount
got me!
idea!
SINCGARS Vehicle Antenna…
ahhh…
much
better!
yeah! that
feedback
was driving
me
nuts!
