Hi there,
for my next modelling project I need to find out how is the AN/VRC-12 radio kit (in my case RT246 + R442 + external speakers) mounted in the Humvee and especially how is the wiring lead.

Any specialist who can help me or provide a photo-reference?

Thanks a lot for any reply

wow a VRC/12, I doubt anyone has pics of that since it has been a long time since that radio system has been used.

Hi Jiri

Just take a look at this manual for some drawings (in PDF format) :

Hi Frenchy,

thanks a lot that is great file!

QUESTION TO ALL: Where is the power cable going from RT kit connected in the HMMWvehicle? I know there is an access to the car battery behind the commander´s seat, but I am not sure where are the connections for radio kits...???

Thanks

Maybe this can help, even if it shows a AN/VRC-47 :

The power cable runs through a hole in the Humvee floor. The same hole is used with SINCGARS set as seen in the TM drawing below :
