Sounds like they are c...

i wonder why they didnt mount the aireal on the lightbar Possibly because the lightbar doesn't act as a very good ground plane and might general electrical noise. Shouldnt be an issue as thats a ground independant antenna. Lots of companies now are opting for smaller, low profile antennas cause the...

Hi Guys,

Spotted this one at a house in Midland yesterday.

What do these guys do? Does anyone know what powers they have?

Do they have any Priority Driving Status? Are they allowed to pull over normal cars or just heavy vehicles?

Hmm just did a search on ACMA and they are licened to a Communications Company and the site is St Georges Terrace.

It looks like a motorola trunking system. My guess is they are a security company doing escorts or a surveillance company?

Hi guys, yes they do have a siren, under bonnet one.

There is also Instra Industries (me) but my website isnt online as yet

I mainly do cables and accessories but are just starting into radios and antennas.

i have in my laptop bag a Tait Commercial UHF handheld and a Yaesu VX3 Handheld and have never been quizzed in 3 years of flying.

i guess its the same as your mobile, you can take it on board but not use it to transmit. there is no law saying you cant take in on board!

Cataby and Northam coming in nicely to my QTH

Had a nice signal there tonight on the ISS.

For me is was about S7 but i didnt get a chance to come up, too much traffic.

I did hear VK6GHZ and VK6JRC though

Will try again tomorrow, or better still if i sort my antennas out this weekend it will be much better.

Hi Guys,

Just worked the ISS with 2 radios. This is from my QTH. Had tx on 437.800 and rx on 145.800.

Was only about s1 to s3 with about a 3 minute window!!

Will try again next time which is March 18th.

Hi Guys,

The radios at the motorplex are on permanent hire. Will get a hold of one this afternoon and see what frequencies are in it.

Yeah Meg, Northam is coming in well tonight!

Nothing else coming in though.

I can actualy get brackets that were specially made for VE commodores.

Will dig up some info on them when i can. Gotta go to Adelaide tomorrow for a quick comissioning job.

Nah its a IC-7000 up top. An IC-6063 IDAS Commercial under the stereo and a Simoco SRM9030 on the left. Fastlane, Have a look at the IC-7000 and the iphone, they on a bracket by holdmyphone. I genreally keep them in stock but only for newer commodores. I get them in overnight though. For mobile i us...

Finally some pictures of my setup:

Sometimes just 1 radio isnt enough. I need a bigger car!!!
