A Word on PLGR PLGR Precision Lightweight GPS Receiver (US DoD)
PLGR Plunger
 Repairs

Although you can get the parts for the PLGR, opening the PLGR and working on its guts is a no-no! All PLGRs are still under warranty even if the expiration sticker says it isn't.

This means all PLGRs in need of repair go to Rockwell Collins Rockwell Collins, Inc. (NYSE: COL) is a large United States-based international company headquartered in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, primarily providing aviation and information technology systems, solutions, and services to governmental agencies and aircraft manufacturers. , Inc, at this address:

DODAAC DODAAC Department Of Defense Activity Address Code  EZ7415 Rockwell Collins, Inc ATTN: Rockwell Collins Service Center MS 139-141 (M/F M/F Male/Female
M/F Mark For
M/F Make Form
M/F Mounted Fan
M/F Motor Ferry
 AN/PSN-11 warranty) 855 35th St NE Cedar Rapids Cedar Rapids, city (1990 pop. 108,751), seat of Linn co., E central Iowa, on the Cedar River; inc. as a city 1856. The second largest city in Iowa, it is named for the surging rapids in the river. , IA 52402-3613

Follow the mailing and packaging instructions in Para 8.2 of the PLGR's TM 11-5825-291-13.

Not sure a repair is covered under the warranty? Send in the busted bust·ed  
adj.
1. Slang
a. Smashed or broken: busted glass; a busted rib.

b. Out of order; inoperable: a busted vending machine.

2.
 PLGR anyway. Chances are it's covered and you'll get a replacement. If not, you may still get a replacement thanks to the Exclusion to Warranty repair support program run by CECOM CECOM Communications Electronics Command (US Army)
CECOM National Center for Communications of the Civil Protection Agency
.

When you send your PLGR in for repair, include the LS6 lithium storage memory battery. The memory battery preserves fault codes the manufacturer needs in order to diagnose and repair your PLGR.

But don't send the main power battery. That's yours to keep. It's also hazardous material and has special shipping requirements.

Only One Pub Needed

The only pub you need for your PLGR is TM 11-5825-291-13. It covers all the operation and maintenance you can do with the PLGR.

Some soldiers are holding on to TB 11-5825-291-10-2, Soldier's Guide, like it was a gold bar. There is still good info in the guide, but it's . now 8 years old and some things have changed. So trash the TB and stick with the TM for your pubs needs.

The Future

MAYBE WE DON'T HAVE TO FIX THIS PLGR! I HEAR THERE'S A NEW GPS RECEIVER COMING.

LET'S ASK THIS FORTUNE TELLER!

IN THE NOT TOO DISTANT FUTURE, THE PLGR WILL BE REPLACED BY THE DEFENCE ADVANCED GPS RECEIVER (DAGR DAGR Defense Advanced GPS Receiver
DAGR Direct Attack Guided Rocket
).

UNTIL THE DAGR IS FIELDED, THE PLGR IS TILL THE WAY TO GO.

SO KEEP IT MAINTAINED.
