In a previous assignment I had (In a 206L3)...
Wulfsberg "Ultra Comm" with the sys 2000, three "RT's" which is aviation for radio chassis'. 420-512, 120-200, 30-50 mhz. Scan, repeat from band to band, in-band repeat with certain splits. All pls/dpls. 100 Presets per band, dual receivers on each RT (one synth, one xtal "Guard" channel)
Last 30 seconds digital record, (also used for simplex "repeat" in a "store and forward" mode). And DES & DVP. with two keyloaders.
Three scanning receivers, three fixed, so six volumes to set,
two KING VHF AM xcvers, one Military "Uniform" for 300mhz,
All run thru NAT audio panels.

The most flexible (and hard to use) radio system I ever saw.
REALLY COOL tho... about the only thing we couldn't do was CB.

OH, the back up system in case it went dead (and it sometimes did) One PT200 on VHF and one MX360 UHF both "plumbed"into the NAT, with direct connect via compatible helmet plugs just in case.

Survival vest also carried a KING VHF AM and helmet cable as TOWER backup.

We sold the 206L3, but I never got the WULFSBERG installed in the UH1H's & it was too heavy & bulky for the OH58'S.

Syntor X9000 VHF mobile, and a GM300 UHF 16 channel. Seems to be enough for now. I am going to probably replace the GM300 with a Spectra A9 and put the GM in the house.

[ricciticcitembo]

deleted double post.

[ricciticcitembo]

VHF Saber AND 433 Saber bolted with heatsink in a Becker 754 Chassis(Mercedes Benz stock radio) setup as X-band repeater at the flip of the switch. Motron AK-16 Controller. Internal Rib. 50 Watt Amp on the VHF unit.

UHF 450-470 Saber in modified SVA

MCX-1000 VHF 146-174 50W

Maxtrac 800 trunking 35 Watt

Becker 4 band receiver LW/SW/AM/FM

Saab/Clarion Head unit pre out only

Casio TV-880 (small)

Blaupunkt BPA-350 Audio Amplifier

A/D/S crossovers

Home made, hand held Mixing ontroller so that all of this crap sounds good mixed together and comes out of the system. All radio's even the saber repeater's Audio comes out of the car's stereo system.

In the near future I am going to remove the MCX1000 and the maxtrac 800, and some how hook up my mtx800 portable because it is smaller, and i just need it to receive anyway. I'd also like to get my duplexer tuned to reject the 440 Transmit Frequency so I can use both UHF sabers to repeat as well. I also am going to add a BASIC STAMP controller in addition to the Motron unit already in use. This will remote channel changing of the SuperSaber Unit. Which is now going to be the name of that contraption. SynthVoice unit is not out of the question either, But it IS pricey...And I'd probably need more ram.

Laptops/VCR's and DVD players move in and out freely, but are never left in the car for no reason, as they just don't seem to last that long if you bounce them around too much.

[vcaruso]

In my company take home vehicle (97 Crown Vic) & Personal Vehicle (2000 Crown Vic)
I have duplicate radio setups consisting of the following
Low Band Rangr With S830 C\H & UHF Extender
UHF & VHF Orion With DTMF Mic
MT1000 99 Channel UHF With MDC Front ( &MVA)
MT1000 99 Channel VHF With MDC Front


If I get around to it over the weekend I will take some pics

oh, the company car also has a
Panasonic Toughbook 17 (on Verizon CDPD)

[Josh]

Wow, some of you guys' vehicles are loaded with crap.

I, on the other hand, being on a limited budget, and not employed by Law Enforcment, am living happily with what I have in my '94 Ford Escort.

Most occasions: GP300 UHF (GMRS and 423/428Mhz DPW frequency) in change holder between seats, GP300 or GP350 VHF in my hand.

Special occasions: GM300 VHF, magnetic antenna. OR, Maxtrac800 radio. But, when I don't want to be carrying the GM300, I use a battery eliminator, and antenna adaptor to hook the GP350 up to the car.

Nothing special, but who cares! Soon, I'll have an MTX8000 to replace my STX 821, too.....OOOH, I can afford to replace my 1985 equipment with 1995....I'm moving on up!

One thing, I don't have (and never will) is any NEXTEL iDUM garbage....Nexthell interferes to much with my local public safety as it is.

[Dale Earnhardt]

very nice setup you guys have, damn, lol

For me, I have that whelen 6 outlet strobe in the back trunk, all hideaway, 4 in front of car, and 2 in back, and 2 halogen wigwag on the back dash, 1 maxtrac uhf, astro saber and nextel holder, bc780xlt, and

The LED traffic advisors are sweet! Last time I was down at Whelen, they told me that they may be making a retrofit for use in the duplex lightbars.

The only thing that I miss with them is the light "fade" as the halogen bulb is turning off. I just wish LED weren't so expensive! Especially blue!

It's not really MY car... well, it is for a week while the normal operator is on vacation, but anyway...

2000 Ford Excursion Limited, V10 Triton gasoline engine, 4 wheel drive. Rebuilt by E-N-G Mobile Systems as an ENG truck.

- Motorola M1225 mobile (UHF)
- Motorola Maratrac mobile (UHF, high power)
- Motorola Maxtrac mobile (800 MHz, high power, two of 'em)
- Icom IC-2800H mobile
- Icom IC-706MkIIG mobile
- Uniden BC780XLT scanner
- Cobra CB radio
- BMS 6 GHz video transmitter
- Pyramid cross-band repeater (connected to one of the Maxtracs and the Maratrac - carry an 800 HT, talk out on UHF with 110 watts)

And a few assorted video decks (DVCPRO, VHS, and S-VHS), audio board, LCD monitors, edit controller and video switcher.

45' pneumatic mast with 6 GHz microwave dish, mast cam, and a 3 dB gain UHF antenna on top. 9 other antennas mounted on the truck itself, some are in use, some aren't. The antenna on top of the mast is what the Maratrac is tied to, so even if you're really far out and can't get a microwave shot back, you can at least talk back on the radio... we were able to talk across 5 counties back to our primary UHF repeater a few weeks ago (and not on a mountain top or anything coverage-enhancing like that).

Neat truck, but it's like driving a ocean freighter and a gas hog, to say the least.

MY car (that the bank holds the title to while I pay them off) doesn't actually have any Motorola stuff... just a Kenwood TK-860, a BC780XLT, and a Yaesu FT-8100R (soon to be an Icom IC-207H).

Some of you guys have way too much time on your hands, you DO realize that, right?


Heck, if someone else was footing the bill for it, I'd have a vehicle built that would include "all of the above" and a suite of modern digital avionics, too, just for the heck of it. And while I'm at it, I'd have the vehicle built based on the cockpit of a retired (but modern type) fighter jet. A two seater F-16 or F-15, I think.
Functional throttle quadrant on the left, functional steering via the joystick on the right. Powered by a big block Chevy or maybe a Rolls-Royce Merlin. It'd be the most distinctive vehicle on the road.

DAMN!!!!, How the hell do you get a 6million CP spolight that HIGH!!! lol, I wanna know that, wouldnt mind getting one hehehe.

As for those LED lights, its wierdd, those things are so advances these days that it has an effect that looks like its acutally rotating, when its not,

those led are good light, but I agree PJ, its EXPENSIVE, I can imagine buying a full out LED lightbar with traffic advisor on it too, probaly around 3,000 around there, ouchhh lol
