We had that aircraft in Alaska at one time. I know on the pilot's lower circuit breaker panel there were two, but marked VHF XMTR and RCVR. The regular VHF circuit breakers were on the co-pilot's upper panel from what I remember, but it has been a long time. I don't know if that aircraft was sent to Yokota before Little Rock or not, but it was one of our regular H models.

What n1dp said. could be the old FM radio in the wing. You need to check wire numbers. There could have been an VHF FM radio installed. Please let us know..

?????

I don't know what kind of C-130 you are working on, but no USAF aircraft that I know of has ever had the HF radio tied into the WOW circuit. My out of date jacking book doesn't show pulling the breakers. I remember they had to be strapped to go into a hangar to prevent the HF radios from transmitting. There doesn't seem to be a rhyme or reason for some systems to be secured. All it takes is one incident and the engineering staff will put something in the book to prevent it from happening again. Even if the HF wiring went through the WOW circuit wiring, there's no way it would cause it to transmit without hitting a MIC switch. All of this being said, I've been retired for four years. Maybe it was decided that the HF shouldn't be able to transmit on the ground at all for safety reasons. That would mean that the WOW switch would have to be jumpered to enable an Op Ck. As Natops1 said, check with your radio guys.

Good, I couldn't find anything on it either.

There is a test in 1C-130B-2-5. What do you have for technical manuals?

Lars is suffering form advanced Alzheimer's and is not able to communicate. I asked Bob about him last month.

The -1 doesn't really have a good one where the whole panel is shown like the pilot and copilot sides. This is cut and pasted together. I've got no old pictures.

Not sure exactly what you are looking for, Bob. I still have some old T.O.s but they don't show the whole panel. LORAN was a huge long receiver box and a green glass tube screen display next to it.

I wish more people would use the bio.It's nice to know what they have done and where they are now.

There was never a warning in the install book that I am aware of. Is this on an ISO inspection card?

Nope, I can't find anything.

We had to work C-141s at Rhein Main when Enroute didn't have the personnel (??????). The crew chiefs usually had the APU running and the heat on when it was cold. That didn't suck.

With a flare shootdown? I'd like to hear that story.

The lighting unit had a warm air outflow that saved my ass several times.

Thanks, Bob, we will. Tiny, Chris, and Tripawd the wonder dog.

Yep, going down to Southern Utah, Nevada, California and Arizona for a bit.

I have one that I can send you, but I am leaving tomorrow for a 3-4 week road journey.

Can't wait to see it. Don't know about the A-model.

Actually, the 398648-1-2 is the preferred spare for the -1-1. According to the USAF -4 that I have, it is an alternate.

Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, or whatever it is that you celebrate if you do. Peace, Tiny

Merry Christmas, Stevoe! I don't even know what the HOC is, so I can't help you. We sure do miss Germany.

I don't even know what the hell this is, so I'm clueless. Don't you have a NAESU rep, or whatever they are called now?

I've got the wiring diagram setup for the XMIT section of HF1 & HF2. I've also got 3 slides I made that explain the whole eff'd up scenario that the engineers came up with. I will load them up. If you can't click on and save them, I can e-mail them to you. This is for the longwire antennas. The slides are for #1, but the #2 system works the same way. Puzzles me with a coupler fault though. #1 HF interlock.pdf #2 HF interlock.pdf

Think they could have glossed that up a bit more?
