[snikliw87]

Nice looking setup. Any antenna pictures?

 

[magicmirror]

I think it's awesome.

Being new to this hobby, I've got to ask what you use that many radios and scanners for at once? I've got one that keeps me pretty busy.

Great job on keeping it clean.

I always appreciate a rack of Kens and Verts.

Looks great, can ya give us a run down of what all is there?

 

[paramedszaf]

What kind of console are you using there? Awesome collection of radios!

 

[b7spectra]

Forget the radios, antennas and make of console! I want to know what size alternator you are using?

 

[ChatoB]

paramedszaf,

The console is probably a Troy Products / Jotto Desk / Havis Shields type. (Do a Google search of those names...)

pdfdmicu,

Nice install. I like them clean like that. I am assuming you have an aux battery (or two?). Do you have a better picture of the antenna work on top? Any time you post an awsome install like this, it better come with a ton of pictures. You have a-thousand radio nerds drooling over your work.

What part of the country do you live in? SoCal by any chance? And what do you do for a living? Are the radios installed as a hobby, or do you use them to make money? Just wondering...

Nice setup.

Man that is alot of radios, nicely set up. I take it by your name that you do something Emergency Services related? Police Dept, Fire Dept, or Mobile Intensive Care Unit?

 

[radionerd13669]

Great looking set up!

 

[emd001]

awesome setup!! an inspiration to those of us still building their rigs. Would love more info bout the radios, antennas and wiring and more pics.

Sweet!!

 

[ScanManQSL]

Nice Install!!!!!!!!

 

[tunnelmot]

Duplexers? Multicouplers? Brands? How do you like what you have?

I see a VHF and 3 800s for antennas. How are you running the feedlines?

Also, how do you utilize the radios? I.E....whats FD, whats PD, whats news/traffic, how's your scan lists divided up, etc. Any Hammy/GMRS/biz TX stuff? I find that info interesting too.

Wheres the Tahoe?..lol


NICE install sir.

 

[commscanaus]

Magnificent! Just magnificent!

And some nice shots of the install too.

I would also be interested to know how the antenna's are shared amongst the different radio's in such an install.
