My shack updated! Apr 10/09

[tonsoffun]

Hi everyone,

Here is my little radio room that has been updated with my new 396XT and GRE 600 that I got from Scanner Master last week. Still trying to get my head around the GRE way of programming, but will get it soon.

On the left is my 3 BCT15's:
Top is for local public safety
Second is for scanning our local businesses and a city trunk system
Third is for a 800 MHz public safety trunk system
996 is for the Bell Fleetnet Analog and APCO-25 system
GRE 600 is scanning neighbouring P25 police and fire.

The 396XT is mostly on the go in the van with my new Maxscan 1000 antenna, that combo is fantastic for me! What a great scanner!

The Pro 2055 scans the highway maintenance snow and repairs crews.
The Uniden 895xlt is running trunker on the right computer.

Antennas are the DPD Omni-X and the DPD VHF log mounted on the Tilt-Over I made. All the antennas are fed with Andrew heliax down to the ICE lighning protectors. Both coax cables come into the shack are hooked up to two Electroline splitters. Still working on the new shack for the basement.
Hope you enjoy!

Awesome install!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey tons, looks really awesome ! The 600 looks lonely among the Unidens, maybe you need some more GRE/RS units. Took me a bit to get used to my 106s V-Scanner and object style. Just started using win500 two days ago !!!

Very nice. Very.

Thanks for the compliments guys. Path, you never know if more GRE's will come hehe, but I don't think so for now.
Mark, the Fedex truck came from the main Fedex hub in Memphis when my wife went for some training there and surprised me with it! They did a nice job in the detail.
Always got to have the Michellin man there with me

Pristine setup - of course I expected nothing less The quality of workmanship that I've seen in your tiltover install [which is well documented in the RR Wiki for those who haven't seen it] gives one the impression that you don't half-ass things, and the inside view speaks of that as well.

If I ever win the lottery I'll see if I can commission you to build my new shack for me

Neat As A Pin

Ron, your installation's and equipment never cease to amaze me.

#1 Top Notch!

Bubba, Mike, Will, Thanks so much for the compliments! I appreciate it. I am actually building the new shack in the basement. I am really spending alot of time in the cable management for the new desk/office. I want easy access to all cables, and to make it easy to take out or reinstall power cable/coax etc if need be.

I have started taking pics of the basement install, will try to take more and post here soon.

Take care
Ron
