Power is mighty potent, and it sure comes in handy when you're
operating electronic equipment ...
 Like, f'rinstance, that RT-524 or -246 receiver-transmitter Make sure
that input voltage is between 22-24 volts when there's a lot of talking to do.
 A lotta transmitting at more than 24 volts will damage the set, and below
22 volts is not enough power.
 Normally, the RT's geared for 25.5 volts, since it was designed with 9-to-1
receive-transmit ratio in mind. But, extra transmitting can put the heat on and
damage the equipment.
 No matter what your voltage rate is, never key the transmitter for more than
 15 minutes at a time.

 So you're operating your vehicle with
its radio set on. But what do you do
when your turn off the vehicle's igni-
tion? Leave the radio on?
 That's bad, real bad. TRIN
 If you haven't found out already, IIADO
when you leave the radio on and then
turn the ignition off or on, the sudden
surge of power can give the radio fits.
F'rinstance ... it can ruin the filaments
in a vacuum tube set like the AN/GRC-
19. And it can knock out the transistors BONE
in gear like the AN/VRC-12. MI G- -
 Remember Turn your radio off MNgHON
 before you start or stop your vehicle's ON H OFF
 engine.
