Interested in putting a 12 volt mil radio set (GRC-10) in a  6 volt vehicle.  
 Rather not go through all the trouble to convert  the entire vehicle to 12 
volt, it’s complete and original and I don’t want to  invest hundreds of $$$ 
in the conversion.  Does anyone out there market a  converter to change a 6 
volt system to 12, that would be suitable for a  vehicle installation?  If not, 
how about an online schematic showing how  to make one? 
Thanks for any help,

Easy option Mike. Put another 6v battery in series with car 6V supply, that  
drives the 12v set. 
 
Then, buy or build a 6v inverter giving 6v out, but floating, use this to  
charge the 2nd 6v battery. 
 
cheers, Ben G4BXD.
