Default Wireless Installation on HUW

Here's a manual I acquired and thought it would be a good one to share. It's for the installation of a 19 set in a heavy utility wireless that can also be used as a ground station.

I'll use this for a guide when I put the 19 set in my C8. I'll use the metal carrier 21 though since it came out a few years earlier but with it the radio can't be taken out of the body to use as a ground station.
The manual's also for use with the house type body.

David,

Fantastic info, gives me a real insight now into the installation of the 19 set station and routing of cables between chore horse/switchboard/charging board/batteries. Also how the remote stations and how the various aerial complexes fit in. Any chance of scanning the info and sending via email, as the posting becomes too distorted for copying?

By chance I take it you have no info/photos/ internal layout of the seating arrangements or stowage in the C8A?

Ian

David,

Thanks for the pics., I have the profiles book, plus have searched all copies of Wheels & Tracks, and several other reference books. Actually it took someone else to tell me there were three seats in the rear for me to take a closer look and just spot the middle seat in the folded position.
Although I could guess and spread out equally, a better understanding of their precise location would be more beneficial. Photos appear to show the middle seat facing to passenger side. A better understanding of the purpose of all three positions would also be helpfull. One at the table is obvious the other two facing outwards towards what is effectively storage are more confusing as to their purpose/use.

Ian
