Found this photo and people are saying it is a direction finder to locate radio transmitters.
What is this?

Wow that looks like something I've seen in the dentist office, looking at the SUV the hubcaps are not consistent with a government vehicle but I guess that really doesn't matter, also is there a plate available? Looks like the device is covering it up maybe.
I am sure someone here is going to know exactly what it is, it is curious.

It looks like a telescoping mast mounted to the rear of the vehicle and some type of microwave antenna stored horizontally on the roof rack. It doesn't look like any DF I have ever seen.

Rohde & Schwarz RDF Antennas (spec sheet)
The plate appears to have been mounted on the vertical mast, and masked out.

when you find out, tell me. i have one on the back of my jeep and it did not come with directions... : )
I am used to seeing them mounted to full size vans, not soccer mom SUVs.
The rear suspension could use some help.

They even bedazzled the rear hatch with the name. Noice.
There goes that news van again.

I do believe It looks like what Goggle uses to make it's Street Maps and Goggle Earth maps
Those are the Rohde & Schwarz direction finding antennas mentioned above. That doesn't look like the typical FED vehicle and it would be nice to see the license plate to try and pin down the owner.
