I'd still like to know more about the outlet / electrical plug system you have in the back there. What model numbers that outlet box is. Where the inverter system is stored, etc.
Sorry folks -- accidentally deleted the pics from the server. I re took them, and posted a very quick video of the strobes. The video is only showing one of the strobe patterns -- there are 15 selectable patterns available.
Pics/vid are at the same link: http://jrcnetwork.gotdns.com/car
On round two of the car install (to be done in a month or so) is a laptop and dashcam mount.
jon_k -- I posted a pic of the inverter as well. The power pack was about $10 from an electronics wholesaler up here. It is run to the inverter (at the front of the car). The main reason I put that in is because if I'm running battery chargers or whatever, I don't want to have to have them in the passengers seat with the inverter. I'm not sure the model of the power pack, but it's made by a company called Power Sentry. It's the equivalent of a power bar, but the plugs aren't side by side, so you can use transformer packs and not tie up the rest of the outlets.

Oops, my bad. There are 4 that are mounted, and a BC246 portable kicking around in the car somewhere... haven't found the perfect way to mount the scanner yet.

Ah, you're in the same dilemma as me with the handheld. The cupholder grip is great, but I hate giving up my cupholder, lol. I know what it's like to spend eight to twelve hours in a vehicle. Gotta have that cupholder!
Another option is to 3M tape a belt clip female to your dash somewhere and hang the 246 off of that (assuming it has a belt clip?).
The handheld volume is so darn low that I usually don't even have it running in the vehicle. I just grab it for when I am out of the vehicle.
Sweet job on the strobes, by the way! What set-up did you use? Whelen, or what? What size?

Great vid ! Thanks for posting it. As for a mount for your 246, try a Zellers tv/audio section. Look for The Clip Company -- The Vent Mount (56511807). The white cassette is an adaptor for audio. The colour doesn't fit in with the decor, but it has a coiled cord and 90 degree bend for hooking it up to my 246.

Yeah, I forget you guys don't need air conditioner vents up there, lol. :lol:
Down here, people would question your sanity for even thinking of putting something in front of your AC vent.

yorkphotog,
Who is the strobe manufacturer? A few people have asked.
PM Sent as well.

I'm actually not sure who made the strobes...the guy who did my install bought the strobes for me and I wasn't paying much attention.
Hi. Here in Jersey thats illegal to have strobes for the reson you have. Here you would need a caution beacon or like a an orange strobe. Also a volunteer fireman or emt is only aloud to have blue lights and white strobes to get throught the traffic! Laws are different in Jersey!!!!! Thats a fact!
Sweet strobes.
Thanks! I've actually made quite a few changes to the truck since I originally posted the pics. I'll have to take some new photos in the next few days and post them on RR. I mounted a laptop, and another BCT15.
I dont think I have ever sen so many bct-15s in one car but you did a hell of a job on the install/setup!
