[ARC5] FW: FW: Jeeps with Radio Equipment

[MARK DORNEY]

By the way, there is no front passenger seat in the Jeep pictured. I wonder why.

It would eliminate all the conversion effort and makeshift scrounging of transmitter dynamotor, relays, etc...  Plus, it would make replacement a drop-in from normal stock.  A pair of those batteries like the ones below looks like they would fit under the radio set in the Iran photo.  Easy peasy.

As far as meeting AAC limits, that may not have really mattered. These were definitely not built to some factory spec in this application. All that mattered is that they work and fill a mission need.
