iainmaoileoin Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 I am looking for the firewire box that sits to the RHS of the driver for my FV439. Do you still have it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddy8men Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 just been in touch with one of the guys and the firewire box is still available Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iainmaoileoin Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 so who do I deal with? Can you get me a price? Or do I message somebody else?? My FV439 (RR) turns over - but I need new batteries. The firewire control box is removed - but all else for fire seems in place. Once I get the gennies running I can start to look at the radios. They seem to do 220-440Mhz - is that NATO band B? I know I cant use them, but I can see if they light up and drive a dummy load. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do a search for Ptarmigan for info on the radios, but don't ever let them loose - they're right in the middle of the GSM 'phone bands!

iainmaoileoin Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 I am MM7IRM - a baby ham - so yes, they wont be let loose and they certainly wont be connected to the antenna. Also I am missing a few cables and things to interconnect them. Parts do seem to power up on the flat batteries. I need to get some more detailed info than I can find online fV432apc.com has a lot of info on the Ptarmigan, but I have not yet found any radio specifics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andym Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 Try this, although some of their nomenclature is suspect: http://armyradio.com/UK-TRC-471-Transportable-UHF-Radio-Relay-Equipment-Triffid.html Also this: https://radiohistory.uk/marconiTRIFFID.htm Apart from cables, you'll also be missing the crypto units that sit between the radios and the land lines that feed them.

iainmaoileoin Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 Thanks for the links. Yes, the crypto units have gone ;-( Land lines? I assumed the "RR" meant radio relay. As in radio in and radio out? I will go read these links. I have time as I am awaiting delivery of batteries to get the engine cranked over at speed.

andym Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 (edited) The RR provides a radio link between dispersed Ptarmigan nodes such as SAS/MCs, so is fed by land lines from them. You'll find that the radios are fed by cables that cross over to the left of the vehicle where there are armoured junction boxes on the roof for the quad cables that feed them. If you have all the cable drums on the roof you'll find that some cables are antenna feeds, the others are the land line cables.
