Unfortunately no bat phone or sat phone. The CDMA usually keeps us in range as far as we go.

Thrill - the boss said ok, so i will take my camera in to work and get the pic up when i can. Still think you'll be disappointed though

OK thrill - here it is. Like i said not much to look at, but i hope it satisfies your curiosity
On top is a Uniden Bearcat UBC9000XLT
Underneath is a Realistic UHF/VHF Scanner - FM Receiver PRO-2003
Next to them is a Roland MA-12 powered monitor
I believe that similar models to these were installed in the ark
.
There is a second 9000XLT sitting on the desk of the journo that does the 'police rounds'.

Great work accprop. That is the Channel 10 news link van that i haven't managed to snap a pic of yet. Of the 4 stations (see the ABC, 7 & 9 vans earlier in this post) i think the 10 van looks the best. Thanks again.
Still missing the elusive GWN wagon, and also noticed at Eagles traing the other day that 'FOX Sports News' now have a fully signwritten wagon.

The 10 vans are very nice inside, all completely digital and have a nice comfy chair to sit in.
The other stations vans are much older and still have a bit of a mixture of analog and digital gear in them...

Thanks HEKTIX for your pics. I never imagined we would get vehicles from interstate as well. Cheers.
