Dear Editor,
We’ve had a problem getting the fuse holder, NSN 5920-00-926-7517,
for the transmission group multiplexer/demultiplexer (TGMD) in our AN/TRC-
190(V)3 line of sight (LOS) shelter.
The fuse holder has
an acquisition advice
code of “Y”, which
means further procure-
ment is not authorized.
We found a substitute
that works. It’s NSN

For our Marine readers, NSN 5920-00-740-0017 is coded “V”, which means there
is current stock but future procurement is not authorized. FED LOG tells Marines
to use NSN 5920-00-926-7517 when supply is exhausted. But like the Army, that
NSN is coded “Y” for Marines. An alternative NSN that is coded “D” is NSN
5920-00-887-6514. It works, but does not have a lamp on the fuse holder cap like
the other fuse holders.

I
f you need the flat belt, (NSN 3030-01-349-
9231, Item 2, Fig 6 of TM 11-5985-394-23P),
that is part of the winch assembly of the AB-
1373/TRC antenna, order it and you’ll get it.
What’s odd about that?
Well, you may have ordered it before and
gotten a V-belt instead!
Why the mixup?
No one is taking credit, but the problem
seems to be solved. The right belt for that NSN
is now being sent out the supply door.
So, if you need the belt, order it and get your
winch assembly back on line. (If you still get a
V-belt, find a use for it! And let us know.)
Replacements
are available
for fuseholders
we
can’t
replace
the fuse
holder?
how
are we
going to run
the tgmd in
our
LOS?
maybe
there’s a
substitute
we can
use!
if your unit has one
of these radios,
get a copy of CECOM-
GPM-2003-009 to see
what to do. Your
CECOM LAR will
have a copy.
Let
Me
Belt You!
Order flat belt. You’ll get it!
no!
it’s not
that
kind of
belt I need!
