Temp Airshow setup

[R1VINCE]

Thought id share my setup for whenever I watch airshows from my truck.
This time around, it was the U.S. Airforce Thunderbirds at Travis AFB in Fairfield, Ca.

Radios are a PRO-2006 and PRO-2042
Antennas are valor whip and my homebrew "hybrid" RS antenna.
External Motorola speaker is connected to the PRO-2042.

Nice portable setup, you should build a box/case for quick deployment at the shows.

I like the M speaker the best! Where did you find it?

That Motorola speaker looks to be an older style (metal) amplified spedaker. I have one sitting around my place that I am planning to use in my kitchen attacked to a handheld radio so that I can hear my fire calls downstairs. I'll look and see if I can find you guys a model number.

firetaz834 is correct

I bought that speaker in addition to 2 other non-amplified moto speakers from a local craigslist ad a few years ago. The seller told me these were "pretty old" but in like new condition.
It is LOUD with 12v hooked up!

It came in an unmarked package, however on the back of the unit stamped in ink is: TSN6015A.
I dont know if the "0" is a "zero" or the letter"O"
No other markings are present except for a sticker on the top of the speaker that says:
"WARNING OBSERVE POLARITY
RED LEAD + (PLUS)
BLACK LEAD - (MINUS)"

It came with a chrome-plated steel mount, mounting hardware and instructions on how to mount/wire but I dont remember seeing the model # for it on paper(I was looking for it too back then).

Hope this helps

Nice setup! If you came in the main/hospital gate for that show you probably saw me and didn't realize it. I was working security on Saturday, directing traffic and getting one heck of a sunburn
