SINCGAR Setup and Operation

SINCGAR assembly and basic operation for use by Iowa State Army ROTC
EDIT: advice from several experienced operators suggest using chapstick rather than saliva to lubricate any threads, as saliva is likely to cause rust.

Brings back memories when on active duty Army Signal Corps in the early 90s. This radio system was starting to be deployed back then. So much lighter, longer battery life, better range, and easy to use than the old vietnam era radios they replaced.

[@sacredsponge161]

i use it now at my unit. pretty cool but it’s a guard unit so a bunch of our batteries and antennas are bad. reminds me of trouble shooting back in AIT

[@1JayVon]

Old video but I am currently at OCS, I was informed I needed to test on this within hours and I had never used this before and we could not practice before the test. This video saved me majorly thanks a ton!

[@jimbobimboslice]

1JayVon OCS is the way to go. Fuck ROTC. It’s the most garbage program ever. Not for prior service. Save me

[@algallego]

Non-security, non-encrypted fill mode. Been a while since I've seen or used one. Nice to see how to initialize it for manual frequency changes. Thank you for the video, cadet!

[@Kannibu]

A G funny they don’t even use these in the corps ...slowly phasing out but super simple

So different, and so much more capable than the PRC-77s of my era.

I once sent one of my newbie hard chargers over to comm to ask Gunny for a PRC-E7. ...I can still hear the echo of that poor PFC's tears hitting the deck when he found one.

[@joec1132]

what is the quickest way to change frequencies on a vulos preset?

[@jeromeellissr.8315]

I would love to work on these radios

[@matthewflores9484]

Is there a way you can use set up the radio to an assault pack?

[@jamesbeemer7855]

Load . You need a comsec system to fully set it up .

[@slyninja2298]

2:03 when your in the military but your instructor takes your phone away.

[@amwin7]

How do you change the frequency?

[@NUCL3ARTAC0S]

For the love of god, DO NOT lick it and stick it. Use silicon grease, or chap stick. Saliva will rot the rubber O-ring and damage the handset connector

[@Phantom8589]

Similar to HQ/HQ2 need active net(Active ID), WOD(Hopset), TOD(time of day).

[@BushidoDevilDog]

Former USMC Ground Radio Repairman here..."Lick it and stick it" is fine for your chick (^_^), but saliva causes dry rotting of the rubber gasket that is inside the headset connector. It is field expedient, but something to be avoided if possible. Just FYI...

[@TheDavidPauls]

What would you recommend as an alternative? Just applying more force?

[@jesuspi3ce]

Bushido Devil Dog I thought you marines like licking windows?

[@jeffgrey1566]

David Pauls silicone lube

[@sfitzen]

I died.

[@maloneweghorst]

I am a Signal Support Systems Specialist in Army. I tend to use chapstick it seems to do the trick. Always good to carry a stick on you

[@bd86]

Don't lick it, you'll corrode the O Ring. Use chapstick or grease.

[@TheDavidPauls]

Brandon Diener personal suggestion or do you have experience operating this system?

[@bd86]

David Pauls experience, 12 years

[@TheDavidPauls]

Brandon Diener thank you, the tip is much appreciated

[@hhds113]

I always used hand sanitizer. And no, hand sanitizer will not erode the rubber o-rings.

[@NarutoOnDope]

Ive never had to lick it to get it to stick

[@thelastzoe91]

Too easy thanks a lot

[@videogamestutorial]

Can you post the instructions on the info of video please

[@edgesuxass]

Great. But usually we go to self test before load.

How much is that?

[@ThomasLearyUsa]

какой частота ?

[@Vlone-Kid561]

[@Colonel_Obvious]

Instead of spit or chapstick to lube orings, use silicone grease. Why debate which half-assed method is worse when you can just do it right the first time?

[@mikekell920]

Thats the most barracks carpet I've ever seen. They color it like puke and make it 1/8th of an inch thick so you can't tell the wild shit that happened there.

[@actualfactual2510]

Who else in the field right now

[@LarsLeonhard]

Can anyone tell me if SINCGARS can be jammed by the enemy, say Russia or China? How close would they have to be? Can they do it from a drone, a plane? How far would jamming work, is it omni-directional and can you exclude your own equipment? What can be done to protect yourself from jamming of radio signals? Asking for a book I am writing...

[@TheDavidPauls]

Classified.

[@LarsLeonhard]

@@TheDavidPauls I am obviously not asking for any classified information. Only what is in the public domain and probably common knowledge for those (unlike me) who understands radio technology. :)

[@TheDavidPauls]

Unfortunately most of what you are asking for is indeed classified.

Looks like the mic is plugged in to the fill port. No? No one? Nothing?

You know what, I think you're right. Pretty sure it's an AUD/FILL port on top, but nonetheless a great catch.
