Tracking of Fire Appliances

Is there any way you can extract the GPS tail that is sent after a transmission on the 6IP/6AR network by using a SDR (Software Defined Radio)

Antenna and Magnetic Base to suit Vertex Handheld

Hi,
I am looking somewhere to purchase a magnetic base and antenna to suit a vertex handheld. The frequencies I will be using to receive and transmit on are the DFES Waern channels. Can anyone recommend a good magnetic base and antenna to suit the Waern frequencies.

Thanks
