97 K1500 Roadside Assistance/SAR Setup

[LouisvilleScanMan]

I do roadside assistance professionally and volunteer with a local search and rescue team during my down time.

The comm stack from top to bottom is as follows:

Whelen PCC-S9 light controller (overkill atm but I'm replacing the minibar with an MX7000 in the next month or so)

Yaesu FT2900 VHF mobile for SAR comms and general 2m ham stuff

Motorola Astro Spectra for RX only on 800MHz public safety and tx capable on 8CALL/8TAC as the SAR team has permission to use it if needed.

Uniden Barecat 980SSB CB radio for traffic info

I have everything connected into a fuseblock behind the stack.

All my antennas are mag mount right now but once I get my Back Rack installed I'll mount eveything to a shelf there.

Looks good! GMT400 is my all time favorite truck platform. Looks even better with radios on the transmission hump! I dig the NBS wheels on there too.

What band is the antenna with 2 center coils near the front of the roof for? Looks neat.

Very nice truck and setup, promise me you'll replace the hubcap.
