Dear MSG Half-Mast,
I am looking for an NSN
for a locking bracket or bar
that I can use to secure the
PLGR in its vehicle mount.
SSG R.T.
Dear Sergeant R.T.,
There is no official locking bracket or bar in
the supply system to keep the PLGR secure.
However, you can make one like the folks in the
1st Cav at Ft Hood did.
If you want their sketches and a photo so you
can fabricate a security bracket for your PLGR,
go to the PM GPS website at:
http://army-gps.robins.af.mil/tech/default.htm
Once there, click on the link:
PLGR Security Bracket
.
If you have questions about the bracket,
email tech support at:
Army.GPS@robins.af.mil
Or call them at DSN 468-1109 or (478)
926-1109.

AN/PRC-148 MBITR…
T
he AN/PRC-148 multiband inter/intra team radio (MBITR) is a solid workhorse
when your mission is in an urban environment. Now the workhorse has a few more
power options.
First, you can recharge the lithium-ion
rechargeable battery that comes with the
AN/PRC-148 with the PP-8498/U battery
charger, NSN 6130-01-495-2839. All you
need is the J-6588/P adapter, NSN 5940-01-
493-6751. The adapter holds two batteries
and charges them in about three hours.
Next,
your battery choices have
increased. You can now use the BA-5390,
BA-5590, BA-8180, BA-8140, BB-390 or
the BB-2590. To use any of these batteries,
you need the BA-5590 battery adapter,
oh, man! not

one! how can we

those things!?

PLGR.
