Here's a couple pics, A plastic pipe and 2 small hose clamps is all I needed.

I was thinking the same thing. And I didn't see the FAA registration number posted, either.
Looks good with all those antennas.
Likewise with was has been stated, I don't see a flashing light beacon at the top of that tower either.

The Amp has a Red light on it, but it doesn't flash, does that count?
Looks good. A few questions...
1.) What floor is your apartment on?
2.) What is the terrain like in your area?
3.) How far is the furthest agency monitored and what is the reception like?
I ask because I'm very much intrigued by your setup and may do the same thing!
Thanks!

I'm on the first floor of a split-level 4 unit building.
In a valley about 1000 feet from the South Hill which is about 200ft. high and 2-3 miles wide to the North Hill.
I get Tacoma Pd with ease, about 10 miles.
Seattle Pd is a bit harder, its about 30 miles away and the North Hill is in the way. I can pick them up but it all depends on time of day, the weather, eTc.

Gre used to sell the Amp, the picture is shown on the web page but it's not listed anymore. GRE America, Inc. - grecom scanner receiver, lcd modules, spread spectrum radio, wireless bridge, scanner antenna, scanner pre-amps.
Can't find anything on the Max System 800 antenna, so your best bet would be Ebay.

Are those rubber ducky antennas connected to the unit beneath them? If so, is that unit some type of switch and what is the name of it?
