[MRCA] M151 DC Distribution

You ought to see the instructions for installing a radio system in a
UH-60 Blackhawk!! I know that some installations install larger
batteries for the GRC-106 radios as in my M-37. I'll look in my
documentation and see what I can find. I have many installation TM's in
PDF format. Do you have a TM # for the installation?
